History Unit - Houses that stories to tell

This unit takes students on a journey back in time, as they discover that houses have stories to tell. Students use the historical inquiry questions - who, what, when, why, how, and where, to better understand times and cultures of various times in history. Although based on Historical Sites in South Australia, the unit can be adapted to any place in the world. After extensive study of local history, students write their own historical narratives, relating significance of life in those times.
