HASS - Civics and Citizenship: 5 Lesson Plans + 1 Summative Assessment + FREE Student WORKBOOK (Year 7)

Unlock the Foundations of Democracy and Cultivate Future Active Citizens!

Tired of endless lesson prep AND designing Civics and Citizenship units that truly engage? Our "Foundations of Australian Democracy" unit delivers a complete, project-packed experience for Year 7. It provides ready-to-use, Australian Curriculum-aligned resources covering the Australian Constitution, the rule of law, federalism, our rights and responsibilities, and our diverse multicultural society. This unit empowers you to guide students through the exciting process of discovering the principles that underpin our democratic society from the ground up.

Benefit from:

• Effortless Delivery: Our unit includes detailed explicit teaching content and a list of materials needed (per lesson), making the exploration of complex concepts like federalism, the rule of law, and social cohesion smooth and confident for both you and your students.
• Engaging Hands-On Activities: From the "Constitution Scavenger Hunt" and a "Mock Court Case" to designing a "Community Action Project," students will ignite their Critical and Creative Thinking and develop practical inquiry skills through interactive hands-on activities.
• Comprehensive Assessment Suite: Save time with built-in assessment. The unit includes a range of formative assessment options throughout, and a complete summative assessment task ("Australia's Rulebook Showcase") including a marking rubric is provided. 
• In-built Differentiation & Flexibility: Every lesson features thoughtfully designed differentiation strategies and extension tasks, plus suggestions for outdoor learning opportunities to connect with the local community and its institutions.
• Rich Cross-Curriculum Opportunities: Embedded activities organically foster civic reasoning (Literacy), data analysis (Numeracy), digital research (ICT Capability), collaboration (Personal and Social Capability), and evaluating evidence (Critical and Creative Thinking), aligning with cross-curriculum opportunities in English, History, and more.
• Real-Life Application & Career Education: Connect learning to the real world by exploring community issues, legal processes, and the importance of active citizenship. Empower students by exploring real-life application opportunities and careers like Lawyers, Politicians, Social Workers, and Journalists.

BONUS! FREE Student Workbook: This unit includes a ready-to-print student workbook, directly aligned with each lesson, saving you even more preparation time and providing valuable documentation and learning activities for your students.
