Stuck on where to start preparing to teach Year 3 Geography? Our Connections to Place Unit is exactly what you need to get started!Aligned to V9 of the Australian Curriculum, the 12-lesson unit takes students through an inquiry process to describe the various ways place can be represented, defined and differentiated. They describe the representation of places within and near Australia, and they identify the similarities, differences and connections of people to places across those scales. Students develop questions and locate, collect and record information and data from different sources. They interpret information and data in different formats, analyse information and data to identify perspectives, and they draw conclusions. Students propose actions or responses and use ideas from sources and subject-specific terms to present descriptions and explanations.The unit pack comes in a downloadable zip folder and contains the following resources:

• Unit Guide: includes a scope and sequence, unit overview, lesson plans with associated worksheets, graphic organisers, assessment rubrics, suggested resources and tiered vocabulary lists.
• PowerPoint: providing topical information and hooking your students into the content with engaging stories, puzzles and riddles from our resident archaeologist, Cindy Anna Jones!
• Displays: map posters for Australia and its neighbouring countries, display templates for a class Acknowledgement of Country, word wall cards and a unit banner.
