Inspired by the rationale of the Victorian Curriculum, this engaging and accessible new series provides a framework for students to explore the shaping of the modern world and the various challenges faced by humanity today.
- Developed by experienced and passionate Victorian Humanities teachers, this series is strongly aligned with the Victorian Curriculum, with all curriculum content for History, Geography, Economics & Business, Civics & Citizenship clearly identified.
- The engaging delivery of the curriculum draws on intriguing chapter-opener stories to hook students in to each topic, and also features a visually appealing design and an extensive range of sources.
- Modern pedagogical practices are incorporated to give students the best opportunity to understand and investigate the processes of how our world has been shaped, including ‘Making Thinking Visible’ activities inspired by Harvard’s Project Zero’s Visible Thinking Routines.
- Skills and concepts are integrated throughout the chapters to enable students to make connections to their learning and support the way skills are commonly taught in context in Victorian classrooms.
- The wide range of activities will engage and challenge students across each topic and offer opportunities for teachers to differentiate for individual learners. A downloadable project in each chapter addresses one of the four mandatory Victorian Curriculum Capabilities.
- Unparalleled digital resources, compiled by a digital learning expert, provide today’s students with carefully-chosen digital content and support teachers through a powerful Learning Management System.
Hook them in – engagement is a key priority
- A ‘Setting the scene’ story introduces each chapter and, along with a ‘Making Thinking Visible’ activity following each story, promotes student reflection and class discussion.
- QR code integration in the print textbook allows students to gain instant access to additional video sources which extend the textbook experience.
- This series features a visually appealing, uncluttered design and includes exceptional new illustrations by internationally renowned artist Jean-Michel Girard.
- The language used has been carefully chosen to be accessible to students without compromising depth of content.
The flexible layout of these books allows for a greater depth of content with a wide range of sources in history, data in geography, and relevant case studies across Geography, Economics & Business, and Civics & Citizenship. Each source has been carefully selected to provide relevant and engaging evidence for students to investigate and interpret.
Analysis questions throughout
Source analysis questions are provided in every chapter to encourage deeper thinking and engagement with the source. Interpretation questions develop students’ ability to analyse and compare sources. Questions that require students to compare sources assist to extend these skills.
Wide range of activities
Each chapter has a range of activities to develop students’ skills and understanding of concepts. They also engage students and provide flexibility for teachers. In addition to the activities throughout each chapter, end-of-chapter activities may comprise several of the following categories, depending on the topic:
- Making Thinking Visible
- Follow the flow of main ideas
- Using historical terms meaningfully
- Extended-response question
- Research task
