Year 5 Unit Overview Australian Curriculum: English and History.
School name Unit title Duration of unit: 10 hours
Hill Valley Primary School My Place by Nadia Wheatley and Donna Rawlins 12 x 50 minute lessons

Unit outline
The focus of this unit involves an in-depth study of the picture book My Place by Nadia Wheatley and Donna Rawlins. This unit is important for students to
compare and contrast the world in which they live by analysing a period of Australias history that helped to shape the world of today. Looking back through history
gives the learner a deeper understanding of contemporary societys values, beliefs and laws.

The unit contributes to achieving English standards by:
Allows children to recognise, celebrate and display the differences between different social and cultural groups over time.
Allows students to create their own literary text, based off the work of a specific author.
Allows students to explore and discuss the effect of a first-person narrative.
Allows children to discuss the effect opinions have on literary texts, when written from the point of view of a solitary character, and how these opinions can
differ from their own.
Have students participate in class and group discussions about the text.
Has children discuss the impacts of the images contained within the text on the viewer

The skills gained in English will also affect those of History. Literature is heavily focused on the study of set texts from a variety of cultures and sources, as such
this allows to better understand differing perspectives and achievements of different cultures and the people coming from them, in both past and present contexts.
In History, students utilise their English skills to undertake research, read texts with a level of critical analysis, and create texts that display historical understanding
both clearly and logically.
Unit contributes to History standards by:
Allowing students to explore the reasons behind the migration to Australia, both voluntary and convict.
To identify different points of view held by people in the past, and how they differ from today.
To develop texts that contains elements and references to source material.

Unit outline

Questioning techniques will be used throughout the unit to get students thinking about the impact the text has on both Literary and Historical studies.
Examples of this are:
How do you think the areas you live in have changed over time?
How do you think people in the past would feel about how your area has changed?
Why do you think people moved to your area?
Why do you think Nadia Wheatley chose to write the book from different points of view?
How important do you think the pictures within My Place are to the story?

Achievement standard
ENGLISH
Receptive modes (listening, reading and viewing)
By the end of Year 5, students explain how text structures assist in understanding the text. They understand how language features, images and vocabulary
influence interpretations of characters, settings and events. They analyse and explain literal and implied information from a variety of texts. They describe how
events, characters and settings in texts are depicted and explain their own responses to them. They listen and ask questions to clarify content.

Productive modes (speaking, writing and creating)
Students use language features to show how ideas can be extended. They develop and explain a point of view about a text, selecting information, ideas and
images from a range of resources. Students create a variety of sequenced texts for different purposes and audiences. They make presentations and contribute
actively to class and group discussions, taking into account other perspectives. When writing, they demonstrate understanding of grammar, select specific
vocabulary and use accurate spelling and punctuation, editing their work to provide structure and meaning.

HISTORY
By the end of Year 5, students identify the causes and effects of change on particular communities, and describe aspects of the past that remained the same.
They describe the different experiences of people in the past. They describe the significance of people and events in bringing about change. Students sequence
events and people (their lifetime) in chronological order, using timelines. When researching, students develop questions to frame an historical inquiry. They
identify a range of sources and locate and record information related to this inquiry. They examine sources to identify points of view. Students develop, organise
and present their texts, particularly narratives and descriptions, using historical terms and concepts.

Bridging content
For the class as a whole to be able to transition from the Year 4 standards of both English and History effectively to the Year 5 standard, several things will have
to be taught explicitly, whilst others need to be developed on their own. Examples of this explicit teaching may include:
The difference between descriptive and emotional writing.
Using different forms of questioning so the students can gain a deeper understanding of both the text and peer opinions.
Examine the choices that authors make and learn from these choices.
Re-examining the prior knowledge of narratives.
The importance of drafting/writing/editing/publishing students work.
Some students may not have the skills necessary to paraphrase and or question texts, but may be able to do so in conversation. Taking the time to
transitional those skills should allow them to progress.
The reasons and attitudes of migration to Australia. What were the circumstances for those involved?
Some students may struggle with the concept of opinions changing over time, to rectify this, students could be asked when their opinions have changed
on something after some time had passed, and explain that the concept is the same.
Developing texts with the use of source materials. Guidance may be required; using a similar text may be useful in this instance.
Links to other learning areas
History: Whilst My Place is a fictional story, the time frames portrayed have a large amount of historical fact behind them. Students will be required to use skills
such as the ability to interpret and paraphrase historical information, e.g. what were the circumstances of which people arrived in Australia? They will also be
required to formulate an opinion on this, reflecting on their own familys migration to Australia, and if it was similar. They will be required to examine opinions that
are portrayed within My Place, and recognise that they differ from opinions held today, e.g. slave labour. During and at the end of the unit, they will be required to
formulate their own texts, through the use of differing source materials.

ICT: This will be required for both further research and word processing.

Maths: Students have a prior knowledge of number lines in Mathematics and a timeline of events can link back to this knowledge. Whilst the book is in descending
order, a students knowledge of number lines will allow the use of a timeline in ascending order.

Assessment 1: Their Place
Students are to interview a grandparent or family friend about themselves during the
late 1940s. Questions such as, what occupations did your parents have; Are there
any landmarks or buildings still around today that were there in your era; who were
your heroes; will assist the students to complete this task. This assessment is
summative and is to be completed between lessons 3 and 6. The type of
assessment is a project. Students are required to take notes of their interview to
compose a text of their grandparent/family friend in the 1940s and to illustrate it with
either actual photographs or illustrate their own drawing to accompany it.

If a grandparent/family friend cannot be found a historical figure will be assigned to
the student, e.g. Don Bradman, Robert Menzies, etc. Rather than interview they will
conduct research using safe browsing options and biographies. Students who may
not be suited to the task, for a variety of reasons, will be assisted by the teacher. A
less detailed version will be accepted for those not at the required level.

Minimal risk is involved in this tasks completion. Care should be taken while using
tools such as scissors when walking around the classroom. The classroom rules
involving such should prevent any harm or injury.

Student work will be compiled into a version of My Place for the classroom.
Students will be able to evaluate their work once it has be amassed, and by
comparing and contrasting their work with the others in the class, they will be able to
see what they need to work on in order to improve for future assessment pieces.
The rubric will be displayed on a whiteboard whenever the task is being worked on,
in a more student-friendly manner, displayed as a checklist. E.g. Am I using
colours? Do my sentences flow onto each other?

The purpose of this assessment is to identify whether students are meeting the
requirements for the Year 5 standard found within the Australian Curriculum. The
format is to be two A4 pages or one A3 page. They will contain two or more
paragraphs and two illustrations (photograph, portrait or students own illustration).

Between lessons 4 and 8.
Due at the end of lesson 8.

Assessment 2: Stuck in 1948
The students have been sent back in time to 1948. Their task is to interview their
peer about what they would miss the most from their current lives if they were stuck
in 1948. The findings are to be presented orally in front of the class.

The students will use their interviewing techniques gained from assessment 1 to
assist in completing assessment 2. The aim of the oral presentation is for students
to discuss what their peer would miss, what they would enjoy and which time frame
they would rather live in.

The purpose of this assessment is to analyse the writing style and ability to present
in front of a class. It is a summative assessment at the completion with formative
aspects taken from their responses and involvement during class discussions.

There is minimal risk in the completion of this assessment. Psychologically a student
may encounter difficulty if the teacher does not enforce a strict guideline of
politeness in regards to what is written about another student. This needs to be
constantly monitored to ensure that the speech is written in a courteous fashion.
The purpose of this piece of assessment is to identify whether the student
groups are able to meet the requirements for the Year 5 standard located within
both the Australian Curriculum English and History. The grade standard will be
displayed on a modified, more child-friendly version of the rubric and will be
displayed on the interactive whiteboard when the children are working on their
speeches.

Ways to monitor learning
and assessment
Teachers are to meet collaboratively throughout the unit, to ensure that the needs of all learners are being met by the unit. If not, a
meeting will be held and the unit plan altered until all learners are being provided for.
Co-marking and cross-marking will be used to ensure that all students are marked upon the level of their work fairly, and at the
same level to reach consensus and consistency.
Feedback to students Assessment 1: All students will have their work displayed around the classroom. Children can compare their work with others to
reflect on their own performance and the standard of the class. This will assist for assessment 2.
Assessment 2: Students will be given individual feedback on both the oral and written components of their assessment. Students
who struggle will be given tips on how to improve in the future.
