Applicable LearningAreas/Subjects: Humanities and Social Sciences

Unit Plan

Australia in a diverse worldIn this unit students will investigate the following key inquiry question:

How do places, people and cultures differ across the world?

Students will:

examine the geographical diversity of the Asia region and the location of its major countries in relation to Australia investigate differences in the economic, demographic and social characteristics of countries across the world consider the world's cultural diversity, including that of its indigenous peoples identify Australia's connections with other countries organise and represent data in large- and small-scale maps using appropriate conventions interpret data to identify, describe and compare distributions and trends present ideas, findings and conclusions in a range of communication forms that incorporate source materials, mapping, communication conventions and discipline-

specific terms.

Australian Curriculum

F-6/7 HASS - Year 6

Year 6 Achievement StandardBy the end of Year 6, students explain the significance of an event/development, an individual and/or group. They identify and describe continuities and changes for different groups in the past and present. They describe the causes and effects of change on society. They compare the experiences of different people in the past. Students describe, compare and explain the diverse characteristics of different places in different locations from local to global scales. They describe how people, places, communities and environments are diverse and globally interconnected and identify the effects of these interconnections over time. Students explain the importance of people, institutions and processes to Australia's democracy and legal system. They describe the rights and responsibilities of Australian citizens and the obligations they may have as global citizens. Students recognise why choices about the allocation of resources involve trade-offs. They explain why it is important to be informed when making consumer and financial decisions. They identify the purpose of business and recognise the different ways that businesses choose to provide goods and services. They explain different views on how to respond to an issue or challenge.

Students develop appropriate questions to frame an investigation. They locate and collect useful data and information from primary and secondary sources. They examine sources to determine their origin and purpose and to identify different perspectives in the past and present. They interpret data to identify, describe and compare distributions, patterns and trends, and to infer relationships, and evaluate evidence to draw conclusions. Students sequence information about events, the lives of individuals and selected phenomena in chronological order and represent time by creating timelines. They organise and represent data in a range of formats, including large- and small-scale maps, using appropriate conventions. They collaboratively generate alternative responses to an issue, use criteria to make decisions and identify the advantages and disadvantages of preferring one decision over others. They reflect on their learning to propose action in response to an issue or challenge and describe the probable effects of their proposal. They present ideas, findings, viewpoints and conclusions in a range of communication forms that incorporate source materials, mapping, graphing, communication conventions and discipline-specific terms.
