Just an update so that readers of this blog know what I’m working on. (Let’s not reinvent any wheels! Let’s not duplicate each other’s work!)
This term I am updating my existing Term 1 literature units so that they include relevant elements of the new Australian Curriculum.
So the learning focuses include
- SLAV library skills
- VELS Thinking Processes; Interpersonal Development and Personal Learning
- Australian Curriculum English Literature (and maybe also Language and Literacy)
Assessment includes
- SLAV library skills
- VELS Thinking Processes; Interpersonal Development and Personal Learning outcomes
- Australian Curriculum English Literature (and maybe also Language and Literacy) elaborations (which is the silly word they have chosen for outcomes)
The units I am working on are
- Aesop’s Fables (Preps)
- Traditional Tales (fairy tales) (Years 1 & 2)
- Author Study: Hans Christian Andersen (Years 3 & 4)
- Traditional Tales (myths & legends) Years 5 & 6 – Beowulf by Michael Morpurgo
Once I have tweaked the planning templates to my satisfaction you will be able to download them as well, but getting these right is what’s taking the time.
I hope to have these four units – and the templates – available for download some time during the Easter holidays.
