CURRICULUM ALIGNED

The study guide satisfies curriculum outcomes in areas such as citizenship, human rights, politics and history

Australian Curriculum Aligned for Teachers.

The Study Guide been written for secondary students at all year levels. It provides information and suggestions for learning activities in Civics and Citizenship, English, Geography, Global Politics, History, Media, Religion and curriculum projects discussing the issue of asylum seekers and refugees. We understand that teachers use the Australian Curriculum when arranging content and activities for students, so we have made sure our documentary and study guide meets several of these outcomes.

How I Became a Refugee can also be used as a resource to address the Australian Curriculum general capabilities Ethical Understanding and Intercultural Understanding and the cross curriculum priority Asia and Australia’s engagement with Asia.

Teachers are advised to consult the Australian Curriculum online and curriculum outlines relevant to their state or territory for further information.
