The teaching ideas presented in the PDFs (right) were originally conceived for the Australian Curriculum 7-10 Civics and Citizenship. The subsequent Victorian Curriculum: Civics and Citizenship is closely aligned, however, so this material can be used for schools subscribing to either curriculum structure.
Potential links to Victorian Curriculum curriculum standards include: Discuss the role of political parties and independent representatives in Australia’s system of government, including the formation of governments, and explain the process through which government policy is shaped and developed (VCCCG028) Analyse how citizens’ political choices are shaped, including the influence of the media (VCCCG030) Analyse contemporary examples and issues relating to Australian democracy and global connections, including key aspects of citizenship in a pluralist society (VCCCC035) Discuss challenges to and ways of sustaining a resilient democracy and cohesive society (VCCCC036) Discuss how and why groups, including religious groups, participate in civic life (VCCCC037) Examine the influence of a range of media, including social media, in shaping identities and attitudes to diversity and how ideas about Australian identity may be influenced by global events (VCCCC038) |
