Foreword<br />
Australian Curriculum <strong>Global</strong> geography is a four-book series that provides lesson plans and support<br />
resources to deliver a comprehensive and contemporary <strong>Geography</strong> program that caters for the 21st<br />
century learner. Throughout the lessons, students will develop the capabilities required for active<br />
participation in our changing world, while using their inquiry skills to learn the content of the <strong>Geography</strong><br />
curriculum.<br />
Each book is divided into four sections, relating to each content description of the <strong>Geography</strong> Knowledge<br />
and Understanding strand within the Humanities and Social Sciences (HASS) curriculum. Each lesson<br />
follows an inquiry process guided by the HASS Inquiry and Skills strand, and incorporates ICT to<br />
investigate, create and communicate their understanding.<br />
Assessment is provided at the end of each section and is passport-themed. It may be used as a formative<br />
or summative assessment tool. Digital presentations may also be uploaded to a class website or emailed to<br />
the teacher for assessment purposes.<br />
