Literature to support the Australian Curriculum: History by Fran Knight
Pledger Consulting, 2012. ISBN 978 1 876678 26 5.
Highly recommended for all schools. This resource is a God send for
time-poor teachers and school librarians. The Australian Curriculum
for History has delivered us a lot of content without too much
direction on how to teach it, or how to fit everything into a
crowded curriculum. Through using relevant literature teachers will
be able to engage students through stories and also integrate
English and History in interesting ways.
This resource lists and annotates many interesting and available
literature resources in an easy to follow format. It is organised
around year levels and clearly states the History focus for that
year level. There is plenty of room to add your own resources too,
which I found useful. It includes extra information such as
available teacher notes for individual titles.
An essential resource for purchase.
