Stuck on where to start preparing to teach Year 3 History? Our Communities Past and Present Unit is exactly what you need to get started!Aligned to V9 of The Australian Curriculum, this 12-lesson unit takes students through an inquiry process to describe the causes, effects, and contributions of people to change (AC9HS3K01). They will also identify the significance of events, symbols and emblems to Australia’s identity and diversity (AC9HS3K02).Students will develop questions and locate, collect, and record information and data from different sources. They will also interpret information and data in different formats, then analyse their findings to identify perspectives, draw conclusions and propose actions or responses. 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, peer feedback 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 inquisitive newsreader, Erin Newsworthy.
• Displays: definition posters for community, celebration, commemoration, and primary and secondary resources, word wall cards and a unit banner.
