Background information
The students had had three weeks of learning about civics, citizenship with a focus on government
and an introduction to The Australian Constitution and the concept of citizenship prior to beginning
this unit. This was followed by a two week focus where students chose 8 tasks to support them with
their learning and background understanding of the citizenship journey of two groups of people.
They were required to complete 4 tasks from the Indigenous Australians column and 4 from either
the Women or Immigrants column. They were provided with a pathfinder which is a website with
preselected and annotated resources (See attached). Direct instruction from teachers, a visit to the
Migration Museum and a guest speaker from The University of South Australia about Womens
Suffrage further supported this learning.
Most students had had experience with Venn Diagrams previously. Teachers demonstrated how to
use a three way Venn Diagram. Students were encouraged to use their existing notes. The task
was preceded with some discussion about what they have learnt during the unit.
Students with additional learning needs were supported by teachers and SSOs as required.
