Grade: 6Term: 3Duration: 10 weeks
History never repeats . . . or does it?
About this class:
In first term, the curriculum focused on “Building Community”. In their inquiry focus, the students negotiated the classroom rules and came to an understanding of school rules. The School leadership groups were established and a regular classroom meeting established. In second term, the class curriculum focused on “What makes us tick?” which investigated systems which are at work in the world, including within our bodies. The students were quite fascinated with the focus on their sexuality as a part of nature’s cycle of renewal. Building upon the understandings of patterns and cycles in the world, the teacher thinks it is a good idea to help students explore patterns throughout history and events, which then shape patterns and ways of thinking in the world.
This class is made up of many 'younger siblings'. Of the 30 students, 14 have had an older sibling complete Primary School. As a result, the teacher describes them as 'worldly'. Most of this class is considered to be "working at level", with 3 children below level in Literacy and 2 working at a level significantly higher in Maths. The teacher of this class likes to organise opportunities for students to work independently, as well as in small groups. Where possible, she tries to mix up the groups as much as possible.
In the budget for this level, there are sufficient funds for one incursion/excursion. The children have access to one computer per five students, in a classroom. There are more computers available in the school ICT lab (35). Each class is timetabled for 1.5 hours per fortnight in one block of time.
Rationale:
Australia is a modern democratic society, built on the energy and contributions of people from over one hundred different countries. They have arrived, those who are not Indigenous, seeking fortune, hoping for survival, fleeing from threats of torture or death, or looking for adventure, for a new start. Each carries the histories of her or his communities of origin, and are actors in the transformation of those communities into the integral components of contemporary Australia (Jakubowicz, 2009, p. 1)
Given that almost 50% of students in this class is from a language background other than English and 5 of them are recent refugee arrivals, it is important to explore and understand the various cultural groups that make up the classroom community and

how these different histories have impacted on Australian identity. It is also important for students to understand that non-Indigenous Australians all have an immigration story that can be traced back through history and that all cultural groups have contributed to the melting pot that is Australian society today. This unit requires students to engage with their personal immigration story in order to gain the confidence to share and compare their stories with their peers. Hoepper (2011) posits that in recent decades ‘the idea grew that the history of “ordinary” people was worth telling’ and that ‘history curriculum content should counter traditional practices by acknowledging the rich histories of non-Eurocentric peoples, questioning western notions of progress and giving voice to histories “from below” (p.204). With this critical approach in mind, this unit immerses students in personal stories drawn from various sources including their own families, peers, local community and a learning experience at the Immigration museum in order to extend current understandings of immigration.
In developing their historical knowledge and understanding through engaging in immigration stories, students will gain the insight and reasoning skills to recognise patterns in Australian immigration that have occurred before, such as refugeeism resulting from war and displacement. From this insight, it is hoped students will recognise that global migration will continue to exist into the future so long as conflict and natural disasters continue to impact on human lives. As a result of exploring the various issues immigrants face such as discrimination, racism, isolation and homesickness students are asked to critically analyse the various dominant and negative attitudes towards recent immigrants. It is hoped students will engage in proactive discussion of these issues and formulate a constructive and well-informed viewpoint. Students also explore the reasons people choose to leave their homelands and how recent global events shape and influence society’s current world-view. This unit promotes intercultural understanding through students exploring the human aspect of immigration and encourages students to discuss possible alternatives to current immigration policy in a critical and constructive manner. Finally, it culminates in a celebration of all the individual stories in the classroom.

Stage of Learning
Planned Learning Experiences Resources Links to VELS & Understandings
Tuning In Object historiesTeacher has a bag of "old artefacts". In pairs, students select an artefact out of the bag, and prepare a 2 min story about the item's history and share it with the class. The story needs to describe what the item is, when and where it came from, and how people might have used it. (Creative storytelling)
Listening to his'stories'Three parents and/or grandparents from different cultural backgrounds come in to classroom and share a story from the past. Students are asked to reflect on things that are similar to their own lives and experiences, as well as differences. (Making comparisons)Teacher has recorded a number of podcasts of individuals recalling their personal histories, or their recount of a historic event. Students listen to these on class iPods, and keep short notes on what they have heard. One of these stories is a refugee story (i.e. a recount of a boat journey to arrive in Australia)
Students create podcasts of their own personal stories to share with the class. (Community sharing)
Reflective journal writingStudents to reflect on the story they found the most interesting and why.
Creating stories of our own livesStudents are asked to collect artefacts and to write their autobiographies. (Narrative writing). Each autobiography

Preparing to find out Family Trees – Classroom display
Students complete a family tree of where their grandparents and parents are from for a classroom display. The family trees will be displayed around a large map of the world with the various countries marked with a green coloured pin to indicate these are the students. (World view)
Looking at history- using timelinesWhole class watch a 5 minute youtube clip as an example of a video timeline of Australian immigration.
Teacher has sourced 5 reliable online resources detailing significant immigration events in Australia’s history as further examples of timelines.
Students to form 5 groups of 6 and each group to review one resource with a focus on obtaining key dates and events in Australian immigration history in order to contribute to a class ‘Immigration Timeline’ created using online tool Dipity.
Additional fact sheets can be perused by students as warranted
The class timeline will be displayed on the IWB for students to add to as they complete their review of the provided resources.
Students learn about using timelines to map a series of

(Representation on a timeline, considering scale, order and directionality, and parallel events)Whole class brainstorm and question-askingWhole class discussion and brainstorm about immigration to gauge current levels of knowledge and any misconceptions. Focus question: What do we know about immigration? What is it? What does it mean? What is an immigrant? What is a refugee? What is an asylum seeker? What is the difference between these?
Students complete a KWL chart to document existing knowledge
Students generate their own questions arising out of the discussion and document on the KWL chart
Reflective journal writingStudents to answer the question ‘What do I know?’ about these terms, writing definitions and understandings in their own words. Students to reflect on the question: How would it make me feel if I had to move to a new country? (Written representation of understanding)

cultural backgrounds represented.It is important to note that people born in Australia can still trace their heritage back to somewhere overseas, thus students consider this when selecting their interviewees. Students may interview a family member, neighbour or another community member. Students may also take a picture of artefacts presented to them during the interview to be used as evidence.
Extending on the previous activity where students listened to podcasts of personal stories, the focus here is for students to discover and engage with a specific immigration story.
Students are to extend on the interview questions and seek elaboration and clarification during the interview as warranted. (Communicating and comparing stories)
Students will edit their voice recordings and photos taken for later presentation to their group during ICT lab time. A slideshow with audio may be generated by the group if warranted (ICT for communication)
Reflective journal writing on the interview process and what they found out from the interviews. Students to reflect on whether they found the story interesting, extremely interesting or only mildly interesting and to justify why. Students to explore the validity and reliability of the accounts they have heard and make a judgment from the evidence obtained.
Whole class debriefStudents share specifics from their interviewing experiences and debrief about any issues they may have faced during

the process and give each other advice on how to improve interviewing skills
Pre-excursion discussion and brainstormPrior to an excursion to the Immigration Museum, in their groups, students will discuss specific questions such as:Why do you think people have migrated to Victoria?How have methods of transport changed over time?What difficulties do you think migrants have faced?What things do you think migrants would have brought with them?How have migrants influenced their new home? (food, culture, ways of life)What could immigrants tell us about their experience of immigration?(Taken from the Primary Pathways teacher notes)
Each group to present their brainstorm to the rest of the classAny new questions to be added to the KWL chart on display
Excursion – Immigration MuseumA shared experience where students will gather new information relating to immigration stories using the ‘Objects’ and ‘Stories’ pathways as outlined in the museum’s Primary Pathways document (Attachment 1).
Students explore various primary sources displayed at the museum in order to make connections with the stories they have discovered and heard so far. The focus here is for students to make a personal connection with a specific object and a specific immigration story, which they record on the worksheets. A photo of the object may also be taken.

Sorting Out
At this point, students have accumulated at least two immigration stories from their interviews and excursion.
Individual glog creationStudents create two glogs profiling the two immigration stories they have sourced for inclusion in a class glog presentation of ‘Immigration Profiles’ to be completed across two ICT lab slots. Glogs to be as informative, colourful and creative as possible, ensuring all relevant facts of the story are included and incorporating images, audio and video if relevant.Students to print an A4 copy of their glog for later use.
Whole class reviewTeacher will lead students through a review of the ‘Immigration Profiles’ on the IWB. The purpose here is not for individual students to present their glogs, but to review the various types of profiles, answering the question: What different sorts of immigration are there? Students are to

Class immigration timelineStudents revisit the online timeline to add in their two immigrant stories including a brief description and a relevant photo collected during the interview or excursion. This photo may be of an artefact but must be distinct from the others so that it is easily identifiable on the timeline. This activity to be completed during an ICT lab slot.
Whole class reviewTeacher leads the whole class through a review of the Dipity timeline. The focus here is to look for patterns in immigration such as the refugee intakes throughout Australian immigration history and from these patterns develop research questions to add to the KWL chart

From their immersion in immigration stories, students connect their video project to a wider immigration issue such as discrimination, racism, religious persecution, displacement, seeking asylum, etc. Students formulate an informed viewpoint and support it with evidence.
Group collaboration - video-makingIn their groups, students assign roles and responsibilities for the creation of a short video to showcase their learning. Roles might include information gatherer, script writer, prop-maker, camera-person, video editor, etc and there may be multiple students in the same role or multiple roles for each student.In writing their scripts, students ask the following questions:What information are we missing? Where can we find further information (revisit websites used in the tuning in stage)Do we see any similarities? Differences? Patterns?What is the main message we are trying to get across?Teacher provides support and ideas such as: a narrative play, music video, short skit, commercial, debate, news article, or character portrayal.Students utilise remaining ICT lab slots to video tape and edit their video project
