Planning+a+learning+sequence

Students will investigate the development of Australia as a culturally diverse society through journeys to Australia over time. They will research groups of people who journeyed to Australia during the twentieth century and the reasons for those journeys, such as World War II and Australian migration programs. ||  ** Australian Curriculum implementation: ** Distinguish between primary and secondary sources and use them to make comparisons and to communicate knowledge and understanding of history. Identify and suggest reasons for change and continuity over time in Australia’s links with other countries.
