allocated for assessment completion.

Unit outline
The focus of this unit is for children to learn new concepts of English and History in a context that they havent learnt about before. The context is that of learning
about immigrants coming to Australia, whether it is in the 1700s to the present time. This unit will give children an insight into this beautiful country and how it has
housed many people in need over hundreds of years. This unit contributes to children achieving in English in Year 6 by covering many different content
descriptors from the Australian Curriculum. In general terms, what they will be learning about in English is: How to write a biography and present on a multimodal
presentation, how to present their biography effectively using the right volume/tone/pitch/pace, how to compare their lives currently to those back in older historical
times, how to write with their feelings/senses and how to edit their work effectively. They will also be covering one of four content descriptors from the Australian
Curriculum: History. They will be learning in depth about different people who were refugees in Australia around war times, researching why people still come to
Australia today and researching a famous Australian immigrant to present on. The main inquiry question that shapes this unit is Why do people come to
Australia?. Students will be researching this in accordance with choosing a famous Australian immigrant, then performing a presentation.

Comparing students personal experiences with those from other historical and cultural backgrounds
Discover how vocabulary choices can express meaning, feelings and opinion.
Explore that different families use different dialects other than Standard Australian English
How to create texts that inform and engage the listener
Expand on the childrens presentation skills e.g. tone of voice, volume, pitch and pace.

Links to other learning areas
This includes links to Australian Curriculum History.
This unit will link to Australian Curriculum History as we will be discovering and researching people who have emigrated to Australia for various reasons. This
links to content descriptor ACHHK115 Stories of groups of people who migrated to Australia (including ONE from an Asian country) and reasons they migrated,
such as World War II & Australian migration programs since the War. We will be exploring some famous Australians who first started off as immigrants from
Europe, Asia and Africa. They will then (using their English skills) be exploring how to research a particular person and plan a presentation.

Summative assessment:
The formative assessment for this unit is the children are required to research and
present a biography on a famous person who had immigrated to Australia. The
children will select a person from a list, research them and create a biography on
their life. They will then present their biography to their classmates using Prezi.
Resources required: Marking rubric (Appendix One: a), overhead projector, laptop
and access to the internet.
Length: The biography should be 500 words or less.
For children with diverse needs: If a child is unable to deliver a presentation due
to their diverse needs, they are able to just hand in their written final copy of their
biography to me.
Feedback: Children will receive feedback of their presentation by the teacher going
through the marked rubric with them after theyve presented.

Formative assessment:
The children will be given a checklist from the teacher that relates to their research
assignment. They will need to go through a check their assignments for factors
including: Finished a draft, checked by teacher, final copy written up, it contains a
heading, contains basic general information about the person, why they came to
Australia and have finished their Prezi. Once they believe that they have ticked off
all on their checklist, they will then need to conference with the teacher.
Resources required: Checklist (Appendix One: b), access to laptops with internet.
For children with diverse needs: If a child is feeling overwhelmed by the checklist,
they are able to conference with the teacher and they can go through the checklist
with them personally.
Feedback: The child will receive feedback on a regular basis by the teacher
conferencing with them after the checklist is completed and when they hand in a
draft.

After 40 minutes, gather the children for a discussion to conclude. Ask them
how their lives are different, how they might be the same and things that they
have now that they wouldnt have had in 1798.

Ways to monitor learning
and assessment
Throughout this unit, the teachers will meet together to ensure they are covering all aspects of the unit plan in their lessons.
Teachers will be able to monitor learning every week by looking at the students progress in their biography, how they are
participating in class and whether they are applying what they have learnt in the lessons to their work.
Feedback to students The teacher will constantly be giving children feedback in this unit plan. The most significant way children will receive feedback is
by their assessment checklist, that has to be given to the teacher and then the student and teacher have a conference together.
This is where the teacher tells the student where they need to improve, what they are doing well in and a general comment on
their progress. The teacher would give this feedback verbally, but also will write it down for future reference.
