Support your Year 1 students in their learning of HASS: History, with the Past & Present Assessment task. Created to coincide with Year 1 History Australian Curriculum, this activity will provide students with the opportunity to demonstrate their understanding of the concepts related to the continuity and change of daily life from the past to the present. Students will compose two interview questions to ask an older family member about communication and toys from their past and record their findings on the Past & Present Interview worksheet. Students will use this research, information they have learned and their own experiences to complete the Past & Present Daily Life task. This lift-the-flap activity requires students to record information about how communication and toys have stayed the same or changed over time. They will then reflect on whether they prefer daily life in the past or the present. Teachers can assess this task using the Past & Present Assessment Rubric. A blank version of this document has also been included. This activity is part of our Exploring the Past and Present History Unit.
