What is the big question? How was Australian society affected by other significant global events and changes in this period?

Teacher Ms B Crook Ms L Orton

Duration 4 weeks 12 double lessons

Unit The Modern World and Australia Depth study: Popular culture (1945 present)

Year Level 10

Rationale This unit is part of The Modern World and Australia, and focuses specifically the Globalising World and the nature of Australian Popular Culture after World War II. Students investigate how this time in history shaped Australian society in depth by investigating music, film, and fashion and also the introduction of television and other technological innovations. Using the Year 10 History knowledge and understanding as a guideline, this unit also incorporates Year 10 Science and students investigate how the values and needs of contemporary society can influence the focus of scientific research and how to formulate questions or hypotheses that can be investigated scientifically. It relies on inquiry approaches to explore how significant global events and changes have impacted on Australian society. Students begin to understand how their place in society has been influenced by important events in history as far as certain rights are concerned, especially freedom of expression and speech. Through inquiry they also begin to realise how change can happen when values and beliefs are shared and fought for. Students engage in activities that inspect the evolution of fashion and music and how these go beyond the aesthetic surface. They also learn about challenging the status quo and how being a teenager is a relatively new concept and this understanding is supported by an active exploration of what their lives are like today compared to how it would have been pre-1945, or just after WWII. Another significant focus of this unit is the representation of people - Australians as a whole, but also the myriad of cultures that make up our society. Questions that shape inquiry can include: o What is popular culture? o What shapes subcultures? o How can people bring change? o What is a protest song? o What did the media of the time look like? o Who were the Freedom Riders? o What is a teenager? o How did fashion change after the war? o How did the role of women change? o What is the role of technology in the changes that occurred after the war? o What impact has Australian film and music had on the rest of the world

History

Students investigate the nature and history of the concept of human rights. They become aware of national and international legislation designed to protect those rights.

Students explain the concept of energy conservation and model energy transfer and transformation within systems. They analyse how biological systems function and respond to external changes with reference to interdependencies, energy transfers and flows of matter. They evaluate the evidence for scientific theories that explain the origin of the universe and the diversity of life on Earth. They explain the role of DNA and genes in cell division and genetic inheritance. They apply geological timescales to elaborate their explanations of both natural selection and evolution. They explain how similarities in the chemical behaviour of elements and their compounds and their atomic structures are represented in the way the periodic table has been constructed. They compare the properties of a range of elements representative of the major groups and periods in the periodic table. They use atomic symbols and balanced chemical equations to summarise chemical reactions, including neutralisation and combustion. They explain natural radioactivity in terms of atoms and energy change. They explain how different factors influence the rate of reactions. They explain global features

Students refer to key events, the actions of individuals and groups, and beliefs and values to explain patterns of change and continuity over time. They analyse the causes and effects of events and developments and explain their relative importance. They explain the context for peoples actions in the past. Students explain the significance of events and developments from a range of perspectives. Students sequence events and developments within a chronological framework, and identify relationships between events across different places and periods of time. When researching, students develop, evaluate and modify questions to frame an historical inquiry. They process, analyse and synthesise information from a range of primary and secondary sources and use it as evidence to answer inquiry questions. Students analyse sources to identify motivations, values and attitudes. When evaluating these sources, they analyse and draw conclusions about their usefulness, taking into account their origin, purpose, and context. They develop and justify their own interpretations about the past. Students develop texts, particularly explanations and discussions, incorporating historical argument. In developing these texts and organising and presenting their

relating to issues of sustainability from secondary sources. They can apply spatial reasoning, measurement, estimation, calculation and comparison to gauge local ecosystem health and can cost proposed actions for sustainability. In History: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures Students learn about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples prior to colonisation by the British, the ensuing contact and its impacts. They will examine key policies and political movements over the last two centuries. Students will develop an awareness of the significant roles of Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander people in Australian society. and events in terms of geological processes and timescales, and describe and analyse interactions and cycles within and between Earths spheres. They give both qualitative and quantitative explanations of the relationships between distance, speed, acceleration, mass and force to predict and explain motion. Students analyse how the models and theories they use have developed over time and discuss the factors that prompted their review. They predict how future applications of science and technology may affect peoples lives. Students develop questions and hypotheses that can be investigated using a range of inquiry skills. They independently design and improve appropriate methods of investigation including the control and accurate measurement of variables and systematic collection of data. They explain how they have considered reliability, safety, fairness and ethics in their methods and identify where digital technologies can be used to enhance the quality of data. They analyse trends in data, explain relationships between variables and identify sources of uncertainty. When selecting evidence and developing and justifying conclusions, they account for inconsistencies in results and identify alternative explanations for findings. Students evaluate the validity and reliability of claims made in secondary sources with reference to currently held scientific views, the quality of the

Introduction: Post-war Australia Background to popular culture, 1950s - 1970s What was life like post WWII? Brainstorm: what questions you could ask to gather information on what Australia would have been like at the end of World War II? Organise those questions as the first level of a mind map based on 'Australia in 1945'. Have students fill in the next level building from these questions. What are possible sources of information for life in 1945? Ask students to locate their own family in 1945. Has their family kept anything from that period? Can students bring in any primary sources that will assist in describing life in 1945? How do any primary sources compare with the information contained in secondary sources? Research task: technology in Australia immediately after World War II have groups research aspects such as: radio, film, transport, household appliances, sport and communication. Then report back to the class on the nature of their area in Australia after 1945. Key Ideas: Its still a mans world - where is the womans place now? Start looking at equal rights. Discuss expanding suburbia; rise of youth culture; the baby boom; increasing leisure time and disposable income; and changing technologies.
