Description
Introducing our newest digital product designed specifically for teachers: the ‘Australian Civics and Citizenship’ student booklet. This 50-page PDF is an invaluable resource tailored for Levels 7 & 8 and aligns with the Victorian Curriculum. It can be used independently by students or as a complementary addition to your existing civics and citizenship course. What sets this booklet apart is its versatility and comprehensive approach, incorporating collaborative, group, creative, analytical, and research tasks. Enhanced with relevant visuals, infographics, QR codes linking to engaging videos, and online learning games, it not only teaches essential concepts but also helps students connect these ideas to real-life situations.
Recommended Age Range:
Year 7-8 (Ages 11-14). Please note that there is a fair selection of graphic organisers that could be used for younger students (Grade 5-6) but ultimately it is designed for secondary students.

Why buy this resource?
I’m pretty excited to share this resource with you all. It’s more than just a generic set of worksheets. Design, skill, and strategy has gone into creating this set. Some things that I believe that really set this product apart from others out there include;
Strategic Design. It is not just a collection of random generic worksheets slapped together. Anyone who has studied the HITS teaching strategies knows how important planning and design is when it comes to teaching resources, and their pedagogy. This unit of work is designed with purpose, with specific skill sets, and with a targeted study; the activities are strategically ordered in a way that best suits the student’s development of skills and understanding of the text.
Scaffolding. Our product goes beyond the conventional teaching materials, offering an extensive array of resources such as glossaries, infographics, organizers, and guides. These invaluable tools are thoughtfully crafted to scaffold and elevate students’ writing, reading, and literacy skills, ensuring a comprehensive and enriching learning experience. With our materials in hand, educators can confidently guide their students towards a deeper understanding of literature while nurturing their language abilities.
Versatility & Differentiation. This versatile teaching resource can be easily modified to cater to diverse instructional needs. Whether you’re seeking to challenge advanced learners with extension activities or provide additional skill development opportunities for your students, our adaptable materials offer endless possibilities for tailoring lessons to meet specific goals and abilities.
Visually engaging. Not everyone’s mind is the same. Some students are more visual learners, as such, the visual design of activities is aimed at providing variety and engagement.
The Australian Curriculum. This student booklet is written in Australian English and is created with Australian Curriculum in mind.
