We share and discuss ways to teach challenging classroom history
Maree Whiteley's insight:
This blog is for teaching professionals to come together and discuss personal examples of teaching challenging lessons in history. Feel free to share resources and strategies. History is an extremely important element of a school curriculum. It becomes even more vital when it is being taught to children living in societies where there has been conflict and strife.

A day with many meanings...Australia Day is celebrated across the nation with a public holiday each year on January 26. It marks the day in 1788 that the First Fleet arrived in Sydney Cove and that British sovereignty was proclaimed. Watch the following video where four Australians — Lex, Nathan, Jess, and Mohamed — describe their thoughts and feelings about Australia Day.

What is Australia Day? Reflection is a powerful factor in learning.
Don't underestimate the importance of historical language in developing historical understanding. Provide opportunities for students to expand their historical vocaulary and to use language for a variety of purposes. Young students need explicit instructions for when and how to use conventions of language.
Husbands (1996) identifies different types of historical language including: 1. The language of the past (e.g. British colonisation, original inhabitants, convict, First Fleet, monarchy, revolution, Terra Nullius) 2. The language of historical time (century, period, modern, decade) 3. The language of historical processes (cause, chronology, similarity, difference, perspective) 4. The language of historical description and analysis (revolution, monarchy, democracy)
Use 'Word Walls' or word charts to help students keep track of information and terminology that is used in a Unit of Work and keep adding new words.

This week, we reflected on what Australia Day means to us. We started by watching a series of video clips about what others thought about the meaning of Australia Day. You can watch them here. We thought about these clips in two different ways: What is familiar to me and what feelings or experiences expressed might I share? and What challenged my thinking?After we talked about this, we each created our own reflections about Australia Day. Here are some of our ideas …

Maree Whiteley's insight:
In this lesson students will read the text ‘The Rabbits’ written by John Marsden and then analyse the very detailed illustrations by Shaun Tan. ‘The Rabbits’ follows the story of the European settlement in Australia but uses Rabbits representing the Europeans and Possums representing the Aboriginals. Students will describe what they see in the picture, discuss if any illustrations have a deeper meaning (symbolism) as well as make connections to their own lives.
