SOSE K&U
====Individuals and groups have made significant contributions to change and maintain Australian communities, heritages and identities. ==== || ====Set task and explain context and criteria sheet, providing clarification for learners. Set the scenario; explain the request of the local government office. Each student will research two important Australians and present their findings to the class. Look at wiki spaces, online timelines, glogster and other sites students might use to gain information. Ask questions asking students to tell, list, describe, relate and locate parts of these sites (knowledge level of blooms taxonomy). Explain the safe and ethical considerations that must be met when working online and presenting information. Teach students how to write reflections and persuasive texts. ==== || ====Internet, wiki spaces, online timelines. Interactive whiteboard in order for students can see the sites and engage with them as a class. ==== ||
 * ====**Information seeking** strategies.Identify and select best sources ==== || ====__DoL 2 __====

Students will construct supportive arguments for the position they have taken about who should be on the new Australian note.
|| ====As a group the class brainstorms all possible information sources using ICT’s. Learning Manger to guide this brainstorm and assist where needed. The brainstorm is to be supported by a guided discussion and recorded using bubbleus.com. This session is to be used by students to guide their research. Students will explain, interpret, outline, discuss, distinguish, restate, translate, compare and describe the information they have found this aligns with the understanding section of Bloom's taxonomy ==== || ====Brainstorm session is recorded using bubbleus.com online. This program is accessed using the classroom interactive white board. Students participate by taking turns to add thoughts and comments to the class brainstorm sheet. ==== || ** Constructing Support ** SOSE WOW:Collect and organise information and evidence.English K&UPurposes for reading and viewing are identified and are supported by the selection of texts based on an overview that includes skimming and scanning titles, visuals, headings, font size, tables of contents, indexes and lists. || LM models research skills to students using sources identified during class brainstorm. Students begin their research scaffolded by LM to come up with a set of questions to frame their research and create a wiki space to organise and share this research. Students use internet, digital photography, scanning and printing to collect,information and analyse, solve, show, use, illustrate, construct, examine and classify their information according to Bloom's applying information. || Internet, Wiki spaces. || ** Invention process ** <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Students will engage with the dim 4 invention process to create their $200 note (see link on links and resources page). <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">SOSE WOW: <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Communicate descriptions, decisions and conclusions, using text types selected to match audience and purpose. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">English K&U <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Construct literacy and non-literacy texts by planning and developing subject matter, using personal, cultural and social experiences that match an audience and purpose. || <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> Students create an online timeline displaying the life of their significant Australians. This is to be linked to or embedded into the student’s wiki site. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Students to upload their information and images to their wiki space. Multiple pages should be used to categorise and organise information gathered and interpreted. Students should use Bloom's analysis phase to distinguish the useful information,, examine, compare, contrast, investigate, categorise, identify, explain, separate and summarise information into their own words and provide a reference page to acknowledge the sources used. || <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Online timeline programs, students wiki space. || <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">** Invention ** <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Students will develop an original design to submit for consideration for the new Australian note. || <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Students to embed or link their timeline and all information about their significant Australians into their wiki site and present this to the class. A list of these wiki sites will be forwarded to the education department of student’s local government office. As a class students will choose the two significant Australians to be put onto the new $200 note. Using the information the class will create, invent and compose a new note according to a plan and then construct the note according to the imaginative design proposed using Bloom's synthesising phase. || <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Wiki spaces, online designing, interactive white board and email. ||

Blooms’ Taxonomy will frame the students thinking during this process (Appendix D). Students will reflect on their engagement with research, organising information and presenting their information. Students will also reflect on their personal engagement of the class design process while creating their note. During this reflection students will judge, their selection, decisions, justify and verify their arguments and recommendations based on Bloom's evaluation phase. || <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Wiki spaces, ||
