Support your Year 1 students in their learning of HASS: Geography, with the Changing Local Places Assessment task.

Created to coincide with Year 1 Geography Australian Curriculum, this activity will provide students with the opportunity to demonstrate their understanding of the concepts related to how places change and how they can be cared for by different groups including First Nations Australians.

Students will observe the changes to a park over time and describe those changes in a few sentences. Students will then identify ways to take care of a managed local place and also identify ways that First Nations Australians take care of local places.

Teachers can assess this task using the Changing Local Places Assessment Rubric. A blank version of this document has also been included.

This activity is part of our Local Places Natural, Managed & Constructed Year 1 Geography Unit.
