Stuck on where to start preparing to teach Year 2 History? Our Past and Present Connections Unit is exactly what you need to get started!Aligned to V9 of The Australian Curriculum, this 15-lesson unit takes students through an inquiry process to learn about a local individual, group, place or building and the reasons for their importance (AC9HS2K01). They will also learn how technological developments changed people’s lives at home, and in the ways they worked, travelled and communicated (AC9HS2K02).Students will develop questions and collect, sort and record related information and data from observations and provided sources. They will also interpret information and data and identify and discuss perspectives. Students will use interpretations to draw conclusions and make proposals.The Unit Plan 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, and self-reflection templates, suggested resources and tiered vocabulary lists.
• PowerPoint: for use with specific lessons providing topical information while modelling the inquiry process through our time travelling teacher, Tim.
• Displays: definition posters for artefacts and technology, word wall cards and a unit banner.
