History (Australian Curriculum)
This webquest at least touches on all four aspects of the Historical Knowledge and Understanding outcomes in the Australian curriculum. However, the final outcome (see below) is the main focus in the design of the tasks and activities. The resource enables students to explore significant historical events and individuals in Australian History.
The tasks successfully cover all 'Historical Skills' relevant to Year 6 (Stage 3). This is intentional in creating a summary unit of work and will allow all students to engage and practice all skills in preparation for the next school years.
The quest is designed with an inquiry question at the centre, which students are asked to keep in mind as they proceed through the tasks.
There is a large amount of integration with other Key Learning Areas. For more information, and syllabus documents see below.
