Under construction
I’ve been notified today (22.5.12) that I need to attribute the source of the new AC and AusVELS templates that I’ve developed under the Creative Commons licence it has.
“Reproducing the F–10 Curriculum (but not the AusVELS logo or VELS logo), is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Australia (CC BY NC SA) licence. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/au/“
So: please note that any templates or units of work on this site which include any reference to VELS, AusVELS or the Australian Curriculum are hereby attributed to VELS, AusVELS or the Australian Curriculum.
All the work that I have done on them is freely given, one professional to another, and may be copied, shared or modified as much as you like, but you’d better attribute the VELS, AusVELS or the Australian Curriculum bits if you do.
*****
From the Australian Curriculum Planning Templates page you will find templates for unit planners in all subjects except English Literature – click here.
From the Australian Curriculum Literature & Research units for the Primary Library page, you will find links to pages for
- the Foundation Year (called Prep in Victoria)
- Years 1 & 2
- Years 3 & 4 and
- Years 5 & 6.
From those pages you will be able to download the resources I have made so far:
- Planning Templates
- Units of work
- Rubrics
- Personal Learning Journals
- Worksheets
From the CBCA Shortlisted Books Resources page you can find various worksheets I’ve developed for ’one-off’ lessons.
From the Films Follow-Up page, you can find activities and worksheets designed for follow-up after films shown in the library.
From the Literature Templates page, you can find all purpose templates, which you can adapt for different books. I am building up this resource so that activities use strategies for the development of thinking skills.
From the Library Worksheets page, you will find worksheets for picture book activities which are designed to teach SLAV Primary Library program skills Levels 1-4 (Prep-Year 6). (From there you can also find the link to the CBCA shortlisted books activities).
NB These resources are in various stages of development. I am not very interested in tidying things up for publication, so they are not exemplary, but just the way they were when I last designed or edited them. (Every time I teach a unit or work, I change something.) Feel free to use them, but please acknowledge their authorship, and email me via the comments box below if you would like to share some of your resources in return.
PS If you find any of these resources interesting and decide to download them, could you please leave a brief comment? This page generates lots of traffic, but without any feedback, I don’t know who the visitors to the site are, so I don’t know whether to bother adding more resources to it.

Lisa what great resources and you are so generous to share it with all. Did you create the planning document that you have used or did you pruchase it from somewhere? I’m still working out how to do hyperlinks in Word. Well done.
Lisa Hill said
Hello Maureen, thanks for the feedback:)
Re the planning document: I went to an ICTEV PD ages and ages ago and they generously shared the original, but I have adapted it so much since, that they probably wouldn’t recognise it any more.
Hyperlinks are easy once you understand headings and bookmarks…which MS Word do you use? 2002? or 2007?

I use Word 2002
Lisa Hill said
I’m a little out of practice with Word 2002, but from what I remember basically what you need to do is one of two things: highlight the text and use Insert/ Bookmark in a place where you want to hyperlink to OR select the text and then use Style and select one of the Headings. Then when you click the hyperlink symbol (the earth with a chain around it) you select Place in this Document as a place to hyperlink to, and a menu of your bookmarks and/or headings will come up.
I *hate* Word 2007. I used to be quick and skilful with 2002 and have had to learn all kinds of things all over again because of the way they have changed it!
