UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN QUEENSLAND
EDP4130 Technology Curriculum and Pedagogy
Working as a tutorial class (or designated group in the case of WEB students), produce a collection of technology curriculum materials that could be used by classroom teachers.
For the purposes of this activity, a curriculum materials package entails convenient access to all of the documentation and resources a teacher would require to guide learning in relation to technology over a period of 3 to 4 weeks, whether or not it is integrated with other curriculum areas.
KLA GROUP: History
Due Date: 09th June, 2011Course Examiner: Peter Albion
STAGE 1 - Desired ResultsUnit OutlineStudents will investigate the way in which Australia was formed throughout the 20th century by analysing, synthesising and evaluating
appropriate materials. They will investigate changes to society through factors including migration, technology and democracy. Asian and
Indigenous cross-cultural perspectives will be incorporated through discussion, investigation and reflection. Students will respond to a
design brief which asks them to design and create a poster that identifies the impact they a culture has had on the Australian culture,
before developing a monologue that expresses the feelings and sentiments of a character whom migrated to Australia.
Inquiry QuestionsWho were the people who came to Australia? Why did they come?
What contribution have significant individuals and groups made to the development of Australian society?
Established Goals:National Curriculum – History (Year 6)Knowledge and Understanding
Stories of groups of people who migrated to Australia (including from ONE Asian country) and the reasons they migrated The contribution of individuals and groups, including Aboriginal people and/or Torres Strait Islanders and migrants, to the
development of Australian society, for example in areas such as the economy, education, science, the arts, sport. (ACHHK116)
Historical Skills Use historical terms and concepts (ACHHS118) Identify questions to inform an historical inquiry (ACHHS119) Identify and locate a range of relevant sources (ACHHS120) Locate information related to inquiry questions in a range of sources. (ACHHS121) Compare information from a range of sources. (ACHHS122) Identify points of view in the past and present (ACHHS123) Develop historical texts, particularly narratives and descriptions, which incorporate source material (ACHHS124) Use a range of communication forms (oral, graphic, written) and digital technologies (ACHHS125)
National Curriculum Cross-Curricular PrioritiesAsia and Australia’s engagement with Asia
The peoples and countries of Asia are diverse in ethnic background, traditions, cultures, belief systems and religions. Australians of Asian heritage have influenced Australia’s history and continue to influence its dynamic culture and society.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples have lived in Australia for tens of thousands of years and experiences can be
viewed through historical, social and political lenses.
Essential Learnings – Year 7 (TECHNOLOGY)Ways of Working
investigate and analyse the purpose, context, specifications and constraints for design ideas select resources, techniques and tools to make products that meet specifications reflect on learning, apply new understandings and identify future applications.
Technology as a Human Endeavour Design and development of products are influenced by societies’ changing needs and wants, and include artefacts, systems,
environments and services Decisions made about the design, development and use of products can impact positively or negatively on people, their
communities and environments
Information, materials and systems (resources) Resources are selected according to their characteristics, to match requirements of design challenges and suit the user. Techniques and tools are selected to manipulate or process resources to enhance the quality of products and to match design
ideas, standards and specifications.
Relevant Prior Curriculum A basic understanding of first Contact in Australia.
o The diversity and longevity of Australia’s first peoples and the ways Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples are connected to Country and Place (land, sea, waterways and skies)
o Stories of the First Fleet, including reasons for the journey, who travelled to Australia, and their experiences following arrival
The reasons for colonisation and the development of the Australian Nation. Australia is a multicultural society.
Bridging contentEssential Learnings – SOSE by the End of year 7Perceptions of different cultures and groups are influenced by local, national and world events and by representations in the media.
Curriculum Working TowardsDuring the following unit, students would focus on particular events throughout history that affected Australian Society and increased migration. They would also focus on immigration laws within Australia?
Achievement StandardsBy the end of Year 6, students place key people, events and ideas they have studied in chronological sequence and create timelines with
annotations referring to events and changes. When researching, students develop a focused inquiry question for investigation. They
identify a range of sources and locate relevant information and evidence related to their inquiry. Students compare and record relevant
historical information and ideas from a range of sources. They examine sources to identify the views being expressed and the attitudes and
values represented. Students identify and describe cause and effect and significant changes and continuities over time. They identify
motivations for the actions of past individuals and groups and the historical significance of an individual, group or event. Students
compose historical texts, such as narratives and descriptions, which incorporate a range of relevant and supporting source materials. When
composing their texts they use appropriate historical terms and concepts. Students present their information and findings using
combinations of written and spoken text, graphics and pictures and in a range of communication forms including digital technologies
(ACARA, 2011).
Understandings: Students will understand that ... Australia’s cultural makeup has been changed by
factors such as migration. Individuals may have different and conflicting
views regarding Australia’s society. Values, attitudes and beliefs have changed over
time.
Essential Questions: Why and how did Australia become a nation? How did Australian society change throughout the twentieth century? Who were the people who came to Australia? Why did they come? What contribution have significant individuals and groups made to the
development of Australian society?
Students will know… Definitions of key terms relating to history,
migration, technology and society. Key elements of a spoken presentation. Where to find relevant research information and
how to gather reliable information. How Australia has changed; and many of the
causes relating to the themes surrounding the transformation.
Why people came to Australia.
Students will be able to … Select and outline key themes and ideas in resources Describe the way in which society has changed throughout the 20th century. Reflect on and relate their personal attitudes, values and beliefs to the text
that they are presented with. Develop unique ideas which relate to learnt material. Understand the way in which Indigenous and Asian cultures have affected
current society.
STAGE 2 - Assessment EvidencePerformance Task: (Summative)
Students are given a wide variety of texts to analyise, synthesise and evaluate to plan and design a task. Plan and create a monologue performance which identifies the feelings and sentiments of a particular migrating culture. They will
include a mixture of real (researched) and fictional (student formed) data to create an original product. It will be in the form of either a letter or a journal entry.
In groups, students will choose a specific cultural group which migrated to Australia. Using the information and information learnt in class they will create a poster which demonstrates the influence and contribution of a particular cultural group of Australian Society.
Other Evidence: (Formative – Based on Bloom’s Wheel)
Knowledge Mind mapping, Venn diagram, Y Chart, fishbone, word wall, Think-Pair-Share and a semiotic analysis of magazine
advertisements. Role-plays, debates. Homework tasks: Assigned readings, Assignment completion in out of school hours.
Comprehension Teacher drafting.
Application Examination of text and photos.
Analysis Peer and self-drafting.
Synthesis Students will generate ideas and formulate opinions.
Evaluation Discussions: pair, small group, and whole class. Self-evaluation
Student Self-Assessment and Reflection: Self-assess and proof-read/edit own scripts and posters. Assess and proof-read/edit a peers’ work and provide feedback. Complete a teacher guided reflection.
Homework tasks Readings. Research. Summative task preparation.
STAGE 3 - Plan Learning Experiences
1. (H) To introduce the concept of change in society, display three pictures taken from the same window at different times in Jake’s
life (Smith, Crooks, Gilmore & White, 2009). Discuss with students the three main changes or similarities and reasons to why this
could have occurred through creation of Venn Diagram (refer to Worksheet ONE). Discuss the positive and negative aspects of
these changes. Record the responses.
2. (W) Introduce the inquiry questions and word wall. Discuss the unit and the expectations for the performance tasks. Note: The
word wall will be a pin board with laminated labels of the inquiry questions and a heading placed on it. Key terms will be
introduced and recorded on word wall throughout the learning activities.
3. (W) Discuss the final summative assessment briefly. Students may input their concerns and ideas, which may influence the finer
details of the final assessment.
4. Students fill out worksheet ‘My Identity’ (refer Worksheet TWO). This will develop the students understanding of society within
the classroom, as they begin to recognize the similarities of their ideas of Australian Society. After completion of worksheet,
students have a class discussion to provide concrete understandings of diversity (as seen within their own classroom).
5. (E) Students are presented with the keyword- society. They are divided into groups of four to five students and given butcher paper
and markers to create a mind map, with ‘society’ written in the center. Students develop ideas, definitions, pictures or words that
relate to the idea of society (refer to Worksheet THREE for stimulus pictures and word search). Remind students that there are no
wrong answers.
6. (E) Each group is given time to hold up their mind map and explain their findings. Main points that are repeated between groups
are written up on the board to be looked at in greater detail. Particularly focus on cultural groups, people and events.
7. Students will watch a YouTube clip on what it means to be Australian.
Link to YouTube clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MISM2funmAw
They will then respond to the question ‘What does it mean to me to be Australian?’ and create a Y Chart in workbooks (see
Worksheet FOUR for Y Chart for learning support students)
Students understand definition: Multicultural, and add to word wall
8. During a whole class discussion, students will brainstorm all the different cultures they can think of that are in Australian society.
Record responses as a mind map. Ask students how, when and why they think these different cultures came to Australia.
9. (W) Watch three videos relating to individual’s story of migration to Australia
a. Firstly, from a senior citizens perspective who has lived in Australia for a long time.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waCWiFhhxHc&feature=BFa&list=PLD58CC9BAB1ACF24E&index=4
b. Secondly, from a young person’s perspective who is relatively new to Australia. http://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=XluNfEjm8ew&feature=BFa&list=PLD58CC9BAB1ACF24E&index=2
c. Thirdly, from the perspective of a Vietnamese lady.
http://www.theage.com.au/interactive/2008/national/migrants/canh.html
Have students take notes on how the people came to Australia, what they thought of Australia and what they have done since being
in the country. Students will share their notes with a partner (Think-Pair-Share). Have pairs share their findings and discuss as a
class.
10. Introduce inquiry question: “What contribution have significant individuals and groups made to the development of Australian
society?”
11. (E + R) Through a series of teacher led and group based discussion, these ideas are explored further. Students are asked questions
such as "How does our history affect and/or direct present day life?", "What positive and/or negative effects have migrants had on
Australian life – history and the present”, “How have individuals helped our Australian society grow"?
12. (W + E) Students will brainstorm reasons how Australia has changed over the past century. Prompt students to consider migration
and world events. Record their responses on the whiteboard during discussion.
13. Present a lesson on the different cultures within Australia on how and why many of them migrated to be in our society. Discuss and
display the populations of the various cultural groups. Refer to table on this website:
http://www.dfat.gov.au/facts/culturally_diverse.html
14. (E) Students will use their knowledge from the lesson to create a fishbone diagram (refer Worksheet FIVE).
15. In groups, students work through the links of a WebQuest to research and develop an understanding of the various cultures within
Australian society. Each group will look at a different cultural group. They will not complete the activity associated with the
WebQuest, instead they will take notes and answer specific questions related to migration and impact on the Australian Society. At
the completion of the activities, students will present their knowledge of their specific culture.
16. Organise students into groups and allow them time to choose a culture to focus on for their poster.
17. (E2 + T) Students are provided with class time to respond to the poster design brief. One lesson to research and gather the
information, one lesson to plan their poster and one lesson to create the poster on the computer. Hence, a computer lab is booked
for two lessons to allow students time to research and prepare their assignments. Groups can present their ideas and work in draft
form to be formatively assessed. Display an example of a high achieving response to the task:
http://www.australiancurriculum.edu.au/Curriculum/WorkSampleDocument/d6b399ec-4329-48d3-a34b-a3afb89e311d
18. When poster assessment has been completed, students will be provided with class time to prepare their monologue. Two lessons
will be allocated to the preparation of this task, providing students with the time to research, plan, write and practice.
19. (E2) A revision and teacher guided reflection is needed to successfully complete the tasks (refer Worksheet SIX – this will be
displayed on SmartBoard).
Catering for the diversity of students: Providing students with learning or language difficulties additional time and support when completing assessment tasks. (1)
Providing ESL students with informed teaching practices that directly address their learning needs throughout the duration of the unit. (2)
Ensuring forms of assessment account for and relate to the developing language proficiency of ESL students. (3)
