Skills test for year 9

Class activity for teaching "Big idea" concepts such as social justice in History, Geography and English using the "Hunger Games" movie/stories. No definite need to show these movies if students have already seen the movies or read the books (and they will almost certainly have done so), but it could be an option to read/view if needed).

A mainstream and modified past exam paper that I have previously created and used Year 8 History. Australia 1788-1900 Aboriginal Australians and Colonisation + Colonisation of the Americas.

Designed for my Year 10 History class but it would be suitable for other high school year groups and other subjects than history (e.g. Science, Geography and English). The idea with this is to get students to engage with topic information in textbooks or other sources and then turn this into a structured lesson. Teacher instructions and lesson planning worksheets are included.

A couple of assessment task options for Year 8 History

A History Assessment task with a strong focus on literacy in addition to historical research. A template copy that could be put on the school's public access drive for students to use to guide them with the research part of the task is also included. Modified version aimed at students with literacy learning needs also included.

A couple of revision quizzes and activities for Year 10 History covering Australia in the Vietnam Era, Changing Rights and Freedoms (Aboriginals and Women) and other miscellaneous History topics and skills.

An Internet treasure hunt/end of year activity for students. Makes an easy instant lesson in an emergency or for end of year activities.

This is a simple instant lesson (requires booking of a computer room or student laptop access). A great purposeful activity at the end of the school year or instant lesson on short notice. Students research their answers with the reward of free time once completed.

Empathy task based around the Federation of Australia with a related research task (could be homework or a formative formal assessment task). Aimed at Year 9 NSW Syllabus "Australia 1901 to 1914" but adaptable to the new curriculum.

Worksheet activities relating to events surrounding the Cold War K19 Russian Submarine incident 1961. It can be used in conjunction with the movie "K19 The Widowmaker". An extension option also looks at other Cold War era events. Useful as an end of term activity for students who have learned about the Cold War. Includes historical concepts such as perspectives and interpretation, cause and effect and empathy. A nice extra discussion point at the end for capable students is to debate whether or not this movie is actually sympathetic toward Russian perspective or is in fact much more biased toward the American perspective (consider in view of the points on the sheet).
