Section One: Introduction

TOPIC: Anzac Day

This unit of work has been designed to create an understanding of Anzac day for students, its importance, how it started and the effects Anzac day has on the people and the environment we live in. It will explore a range of activities, guest speakers and excursions to engage and create students interests. The aim of this unit of work is it to get students to focus on celebrations and commemorations around the world and in Australia. I have chosen to focus this unit of work on Anzac Day, which is celebrated in Australia on the 25th

of April. This unit of work focuses on Australian history and is also integrated with Literature and Language in English and Arts and Culture level 3.

The unit includes an excursion to a war memorial museum and many activities relating to Anzac day. These activities range from, puzzles, quiz to posers and presentations. The aim is to get students to further their prior knowledge of the topic and gain a better understanding as to why this day is so memorable.

This unit of work has been broken down into the eight lesson plans of inquiry developed by Rob Gilbert and Brian Hoepper. I have created each lesson plan to go for the duration of 60minutes however the lesson on the excursion may be extended or modified if needed.

Objectives Students will be able to become engaged within the topic, by understanding the events held on Anzac

Day and their purpose. Students will be able to focus on new experiences. Students will be able to ask questions about their interest in the topic, which will help them further,

explain their experiences.

Definition Anzac day is there as a national remembrance day that commemorates those who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations.

Victorian Essential Learning StandardsThe Humanities, English– Level 3

StandardsBy the end of Level 3, students understand how content can be organised using different text structures depending on the purpose of the text. They understand how language features, images and vocabulary choices are used for different effects. They read texts that contain varied sentence structures, a range of punctuation conventions, and images that provide additional information. They identify literal and implied meaning connecting ideas in different parts of a text. They select information, ideas and events in texts that relate to their own lives and to other texts.

Page 4: Humanitites inquiry development unit of work

The Humanities, Civics and Citizenship– Level 3

StandardsStudents will build on their understanding of Australian society and investigate some of the different cultural groups, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) communities that make up the Australian community. They learn about the contributions that people from diverse groups have made to many aspects of the Australian way of life. Students learn about the different types of groups in the community and their functions; for example, school groups and local volunteer groups such as charitable and environmental organisations. From their research, they develop knowledge about their community and environment, and a sense that individuals’ contributions can care for and improve the environment, their own lives and the lives of others.

The Humanities, Art and Culture– Level 3

StandardsStudents will work towards achieving level 4 in the Arts. They will develop knowledge by exploring arts to communicate concepts arising from their personal experiences and from the world around them. This will be achieved through Dance, Drama, Media, Music and Visual Arts.

Guessing game- students had four bags each containing items that related to Anzac day. The students were asked to have a look in all these bags and try to figure out what they think todays inquiry lesson was going to be about. Students will be having discussions with each other to come up with ideas of what they think today’s topic will be.

I think, I fell, I wonderStudents thought about what they already knew about Anzac Day, they then wrote down how they felt about Anzac Day, and they recorded things down that they

In todays lesson the teacher will begin with a little activity, which is to get the students tuned into todays inquiry lesson, I will begin by placing four bags around the classroom. In the bags there will be items that all have some significance to Anzac Day. The aim of this activity is to get students to think about Anzac Day and have a go at figuring out what today’s new inquiry lesson is all about.

For the next part of the lesson the teacher will complete an activity called I think, I feel, I wonder this will allow the teacher to get an insight on what students already know about

Students will be colouring in pictures, which are all related to Anzac Day. Once the students have completed their colouring I will have them laminated for students to them create a puzzle for other students to have a go at.

Anzac Day, what they think and feel about a topic, and get students to focus on upcoming experiences of Anzac Day. This activity will provide students with opportunities to become engaged in the topic, to ascertain the students’ questions about and interest in the topic, to allow students to share their personal experience of the topic and to help plan further experiences and activities.
