Curriculum Connections
Theme/Overview The Making of the Modern World
Key Inquiry Questions What was the significance of World War I?
Content The emergence and nature of significant economic, social and political ideas in the period, including nationalism.
Depth Studies This program creates an adaptive learning environment in which student-lead learning can occur. Through investigation of a common topic - the Lucas Clothing Factory - students have the opportunity to explore 1 of 2 possible depth studies. Students may choose to investigate the impact of World War One (1914-1918), with particular emphasis on Australia (through examining the use of propaganda to influence the civilian population or examining the changing role of women in the workplace). Students may choose instead to investigate the commemoration of World War One, including debates about the nature and significance of the ANZAC legend (through a case study examination of the Lucas Girls involvement with the Ballarat Avenue of Honour and the Ballarat Arch of Victory, with comparison with other memorials and monuments).
Historical Knowledge and Understanding The Australian Curriculum (History) identifies 4 study areas for Year 9 level: societies; events; movements and developments. It also identifies 7 key concepts for developing historical understanding: evidence; continuity and change; cause and effect; significance; perspectives; empathy; and contestability. This program is designed to assist students to develop their knowledge of what was occurring on the homefront during World War One (societies and events) and scaffold their abilities to develop their own understandings (evidence, significance and perspectives).
Historical Skills The Australian Curriculum (History) identifies Year 9 level students as developing skills in: chronology, terms and concepts; historical questions and research; analysis and use of sources; perspective and interpretations; and explanation and communication. Chronology is the only skill not explicitly practised within this program.
Achievement Standard Students will demonstrate their achievement of standards set out in the Australian Curriculum (History) through development of texts incorporating their own historical interpretations about the past. These texts will include: historical terms and concepts (identifying key events and individuals and groups within society); evidence identified in sources (including development and modification of their own inquiry questions and analysis of a range of primary and secondary sources); and references for these sources (including evaluation of the depth, breadth and usefulness of sources used).
Program Scaffolding
In order for students to develop their understanding of the usefulness of key terms they need to develop their understanding of the conventions used in written texts. The Identifying Key Terms Lesson Plan utilises wiki pages as online source material being examined for the conventional use of key terms. According to the Australian Curriculum (History) at Year 8 level students develop their understanding of the different meanings of particular terms and concepts when viewed in their historical context. At Year 9 level students then engage with these terms and discuss their contestability in the context of Australia's history. At Year 10 level they continue to build on their understanding of the concept of 'contestability' through using their Year 8 and Year 9 experiences to help create their own definition of 'contestability'. This program allows students to build their knowledge and understanding of the contestability of the concepts of 'nationalism' and 'evidence'.
In order for students to develop their understanding of the usefulness of key facts they need to develop their understanding of the conventions used in written texts. The Identifying Key Facts Lesson Plan utilises wiki pages as online source material being examined for the conventional use of key facts. According to the Australian Curriculum (History) at Year 8 level students pose a key question and identify related question to inform an inquiry. At Year 9 level students then develop questions about aspects of the past that require historical argument and the refine these as further factors are introduced into the research process. At Year 10 level they continue to build on their understandings and skills regarding questions and historical argument by changing a key question or related questions in an inquiry depending on the suitability of the sources available.
In order for students to develop their understanding of the usefulness of source material they need to develop their understanding of key details used in identifying source material. The Identifying the Source Lesson Plan utilises wiki pages as online source material being examined for the conventional use of key facts. According to the Australian Curriculum (History) at Year 8 level students create categories to organise the information obtained from sources and distinguishing between fact and opinion or interpretation. At Year 9 level students then explain the contextual significance of a source and develop their understanding that the reliability and usefulness of a source depends on the questions asked of it. At Year 10 level they continue to build on their understandings and skills regarding the usefulness of source material by explaining the context of a source and the significance of that context in understanding responses to the source and by developing their understanding that the reliability and usefulness of a source depends on the quesions asked of it.
In order for students to develop their understanding of the value of using references in a professional manner they need to develop their understanding of key details used in constructing references. The Build a Bibliography Lesson Plan utilises wiki pages as online source material being examined for the non-conventional use of references as xomparative material against a (classroom teacher) chosen referencing style. According to the Australian Curriculum (History) at Year 8 level students design a table to list sources and the aspects of the past about which they provide information. At Year 9 level students then develop a historical argument that identifies different possibilities in interpretation and argues a particular point of view with consistent reference to the evidence available. At Year 10 level they continue to build on their understandings and skills regarding developing a historical argument that identifies different possibilities in interpretation and argues a particular point of view, with consistent and specific reference to the evidence available.
In order for students to develop their
Create a Publicity Brochure Lesson Plan
According to the Asutralian Curriculum (History) at Year 8 level students use scaffolds illustrating the structural and language features of particular text types in order to create a text that communicates specific findings about the past. At Year 9 level students create a travel brochure (incorporating written text and graphics). At Year 10 level they continue to build their understandings and skills regarding structural and language features of particular text types by designing a poster that outlines the main arguments against a particular historical action and explaining the nature and reliability of the sources used to construct the poster.
