Important note:The following lesson could be enhanced by acknowledging the sources of the images as part of the lesson procedure, therefore modelling best practice in crediting your source. Also some of the images have been taken out of the context of their original website. This is a teaching point that could be shared with your students, ie the pros and cons of 'googling' for images...

Maree Whiteley's insight:

Year 5 and Year 6 AC History- stories of immigration explored through Drama and role-play. 

Catherine Smyth's comment, May 9, 2013 10:55 PM
Role-play is a powerful way to help young students develop historical understanding. Barton & Levstik (2005) in their book, "Doing History", suggest that students should have the responsibility for creating the drama based on their own investigation. So, rather than giving students a ready-made script, make sure that they play an active role in the creation of the script. This kind of activity requires historical inquiry where students use evidence to construct a story of the past. This Unit of Work provides a useful scaffold for using drama and role-play to teach history.
Jemma Tanner's curator insight, October 29, 2013 5:53 AM

Drama is an excellent way of teaching historical events as it forces the student to become the character in the situation. This resource outlines how the drama process could work in a Humanities lesson on immigration (as it was inspired by the Immigration Museum). It includes focus questions as well as goes through the history of settlement in Australia. I think this is an inspiring resource because it's innovative and engaging for the students. I'd use this drama resource in conjunction with other resources (such as videos, images, texts, etc) when teaching about this topic in my classroom.

Seems a great way to assist students to understand life in Australia at this time

The student rubric can be used:
(a) to make certain that students are aware of the success criteria against which they will be assessed by the teacher. Teachers should make certain that students fully understand all terminology.
(b) to assist students in the process of self-assessment.

YR1. Past & Present Family Life. It's all fun & games

YR1. Past & Present Family Life. It's all fun & games | Primary History for Australian Classrooms | Scoop.it

This unit is about helping students compare their own childhood with the childhoods of their parents and grandparents. To do this, they will look at activities done each day during the week and on weekends, toys, games, music devices, school and life in general for themselves, a parent and a grandparent. There is a lot of dialogue between older family members and the students as they share their thoughts and memories with the children.
