SIGNIFICANT SITES
This unit is based around the Stage 2 HSIE unit "Australia, You're Standing in it." It provides opportunities for students to explore natural, heritage and built features in Australia, highlighting ecological sustainability and intercultural understandings. The unit emphasises the skill of mapping to find and record information. It focuses on investigating and evaluating the significance of particular sites and places and what people value about them.
In the library program, students complete a research project based around the unit of work. This unit's research project revolves around significant sites in Australia. Students create a Keynote document. Each student is allocated a significant site to research, focusing on its location, features and reasons for significance. At the end of the term, students will present their work to the class and will be assessed according to a specific rubric.
