ACTIVITY OUTLINE:
From Dreaming stories to decimal changeover, the Endeavour to Yothu Yindi, Australian history is full of fascinating tales – and we have the portraits to prove it.
History | Year 3 – Year 6
This interactive session for Stage 2 and 3 students uses portraiture to provide opportunities for learners to develop and deepen their understanding of Australian history. Evidence, continuity and change, cause and effect, perspectives and empathy will be used as tools to investigate portraits in our collection within their historical context.
Key curriculum links:
- Experiences of Australian democracy and citizenship, including the status and rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, migrants, women and children [ACHASSK135]
