Knowledge of Australia — its history, people and culture as well as its way of life and systems of citizenship and government — is a critical component of being an active and involved member of society.

Australians All helps teachers of upper primary students achieve this goal by providing challenging and thought-provoking learning opportunities. The book entirely meets the requirements of the learning standards contained within the National Civics and Citizenship Statements of Learning document.

Features

• The book contains ten separate units of work, each focusing on a topic that is relevant to teach as part of a Civics and Citizenship lesson series. Each unit contains four activities.
• Teacher pages contain background information, useful web links, suggestions for small group discussion topics and activities to extend or develop individual learning.
• The facing student pages contain introductory information, along with activities for students to complete, including research tasks.
• The activities provide many opportunities for students to experience success with their learning about Australia, and to make a positive transition to being informed and active members of their local communities.
• The book is an especially useful resource for students who are recent arrivals in Australia.
