Bits and pieces for next Tuesday's session

The history concepts

Thanks for the great conversation in the group on Tuesday. There are several things to follow-up from Thursday that appear below.

1. Our focus next Tuesday is on Rights and Freedoms, with a special focus on the history of Aboriginal people in Australia and in particular in South Australia. To this end we have a special guest coming in to work with us. Gary Passmore is a valued colleague and is the writer of the South Australian Aboriginal Cultural Studies Curriculum ... and much more! Gary will be guiding us through a role play and participating with us in conversations on the issues that you will cover in your readings this week. I am certainly looking forward to the session.

1. Here is the link to that Shaun Tan video we were discussing. It is worth having a good look at and think about how you would use it in the classroom.
Part 1 The Arrival
Part 2 The Arrival

  2. You can also download the history presentation from Thursday afternoon here. Have a good look at it and get your thinking together re: the history concepts.

3. Next Double entry journal - please bring a printed copy to class and be prepared to present a stimulating question from the right hand column.

  4. Task for Session 3:

Research an Indigenous Australian and be prepared to present to the group (2 mins). If we run out of time next Tuesday we will do the presentation on Thursday. Again, I want a presentation without notes but just a student led conversation about the person.

5. Choosing your resources and lesson plan
Just a reminder, as Deb explained, you need to come along to the session next Tuesday with a Year level and Content descriptor selected - plus some ideas on the resources you plan to review and use in your lesson plan. I will be providing you with the templates and detailed guidance for the assignment next Tuesday.

6. In preparation for our session on the geography concepts next Tuesday, have a good look at the Geography concept wheel below.

 

All the best, have  good weekend and I look forward to our continued work together next Tuesday.

Regards
Malcolm
