This is a Ready-Ed Publications' Teachers’ Notes book preview. Year 2: People Are Connected To Places is part of the Australian Geography Series which consists of nine books in total. This book is written for students living in Australia who are studying Geography in Year 2. It is divided into three clear sections which align to the Australian National Curriculum. The first section, Place Names, will help students begin to understand that the names of places and features of places have meanings. Students will be given the opportunity to examine the significance of indigenous names and begin to understand that different places are different sizes and can thus be described in terms of scale. Students will also be asked to label major geographical divisions on a globe. The second section Connecting To Places, explores students’ connections with places both close and distant. Students will learn that connections can be formed not only with places where they have been, but also with places that they have heard of: on TV, in books or through other people. Places frequently visited in the local community, places of birth and places in other countries all feature in this section. The activities in this section also help students to understand the special relationship that Indigenous Australians have with the land, sea and animals of their place. The final section in this book entitled Spaces: Near And Far, considers the concept that distance influences the places where we go and how often we visit those places. The activities presented in this section encourage students to see the connection between these two variables and discuss the reasons why people visit distant places less frequently than places which are nearby. All of the activity pages in this book are visually appealing to help Year 2 students process the concepts being taught. As students complete the activities they will also be learning and practising a range of geographical skills, including: sorting, classifying, mapping, labelling, matching, graphing and conducting simple surveys to collect data.

Place Names

This is a Ready-Ed Publications' book preview. Names Of Places (Page 9)

Ask students to be as specific as possible when naming each place, for example Brighton Beach, a mountain in America, etc. Ask students to compare their answers and discuss the differences, for example many students may have been to the beach, but not necessarily to the same beach.

Place Names Are Important 1 (Page 10) To assist students to complete this activity, ask them to colour Jenny and Ben’s house one colour, all the restaurants another colour, etc. then underline the words in the passage using the matching colour. Discuss the results after they have completed the activity. Did all of the students get the same route? Why/why not? Try the activity again, but this time select and include the specific names of places that Jenny and Ben visited in the narrative. Did all students get the same route this time? This activity should consolidate the idea that specific place names are important.

Place Names Are Important 2 (Page 11) Discuss with the students whether this activity would be easier if the places marked on their maps had names. Reinforce the concept that naming places makes them easier to find.

The Meanings Of Place Names (Page 12)

Extension Activity •

Talk about how some places are named after people, some places are named because of a distinguishing feature, some places have names that mean something in another language and some places are named after other places in the world. Create a class display with information under the following four headings:

People, Distinguishing Feature, Another Language, Other Places.

Addresses 1 (Page 13)

Extension Activity •

Mark students’ houses on a map of the local area. Ask students to identify who lives closest to them and who lives furthest away.

Addresses 2 (Page 14) Students should circle number 15 and highlight Tiny Town. Students should colour the number 4 house pink. Students should recognise that all the people in Tiny Town do not live on the same street but they do live in the same town. Routes will vary.

Extension Activities •

Ask students to write a letter to their parents and mail it to their home address. Discuss with students how the postman/ woman will know where to deliver it (e.g. he will find the street on a map and then look for the number on the mailbox).

Mark all the students' houses on a map, then draw lines to show the route a postman/woman might take to deliver all the letters.

Australian Place Names 1 (Page 15) Before the students complete the activity discuss the five famous places. After the students have completed the activity examine the names of the places in more detail. Ask them why these places were given their names - is it because of how they look? Is it because of how the place is used? 1 - D, 2 - E, 3 - A, 4 - C, 5 - B

(continents, countries, cities, landmarks, etc.). Write each different place on a piece of card. Discuss how students know these names and may have a connection to them (e.g. places that they have visited, from the TV, the news, in books, heard parents talking about them, friends or family live there, etc.). Ask students to try to classify the pieces of card under the headings on the worksheet. Discuss how landmarks are smaller in size than cities, cities are smaller in size than countries, etc.

Labelling A Globe

This is a Ready-Ed Publications' book preview.  Read the information about our Earth, then complete the task.

• Our Earth is a globe that is always rotating on its axis. We call the northern point of this axis, the North Pole and the southern point, the South Pole.

• We can also locate places on the Earth by dividing the globe with imaginary lines. The line that divides the globe in the middle is called the Equator. • To the north of the Equator is the Tropic of Cancer. To the south is the Tropic of Capricorn. Between these two lines of latitude are the regions of the planet where the tropical rainforests, coral reefs and savannahs are located.

• Close to the North Pole we find the line called the Arctic Circle. At the South Pole, the line is the Antarctic Circle.  Label all of the bolded words in the information box above. Shade the land mass green.

Connecting To Places

This is a Ready-Ed Publications' book preview. I Am Connected To My Home (Page 26) Discuss with students what ‘connection’ means. For example, connections are formed when people visit a place frequently, feel that they belong to a place, feel comfortable in a place, and feel that a place is special.

China

Australia

Connecting To My Community (Page 27) Ask students to take photographs (with parent assistance) of: their houses, a place where they shop and a place where they go to have fun. Create a class display to showcase students’ photographs.

Connecting To Places I Visit (Page 28) If students haven't visited another state in Australia, they can choose another place in their own state, town, city or suburb.

Connecting To Places Across The World (Page 32) Students should identify that Phillip came from the United Kingdom because of the flag that he holds. He made three stops on his journey to Australia. England is smaller than Australia.

Extension Activities •

Investigate the history of communication. Create a timeline to display in the classroom. Organise to communicate with students in another country either via letter writing, email or internet video calls using software such as Skype. If you get the opportunity, set up a pen pal program with a teacher overseas as an authentic way for students to develop a connection with another country. Letters could be written using email, a blog or snail mail. Students can log on to the following website4http://www.flatstanley.com/ about, to connect with children in other parts of the world by sending out paper "Flat Stanleys" through the mail (or digitally with The Flat Stanley app). Each student can then talk about, track, and write about his/her flat character's journey and adventures. Students can log on to the following website4http://www.animaps.com. to create animated maps for free, with markers that move to trace routes, and text and images that pop up on cue. This will help them to locate where in the world the children are with whom they are communicating. Registration is required. Another mapmaking program which they can use is the National Geographic MapMaker Interactive4http:// education.nationalgeographic.com/ education/mapping/interactivemap. Students can log on to create a customised map using the themes,

Answers •

Written communication could include: letters, email, text messages, greeting cards, online chat forums, etc. Verbal communication could include: telephone/mobile phone, webcam, Skype, etc. Students should colour the computer, the mobile phone and the picture of two people using Skype for the first question, and colour the picture of a parcel for the second question.

Connecting To Asia (Page 36) Discuss as a class how Australia is connected to Asia through trade, aid, migration, food, wars and the environment.

Connecting Through Food (Page 37) Extension Activity •

Ask for parent volunteers to help cook dishes from around the world and hold a ‘World Food Day’. Talk about people's connection to the dishes and to the places from which the dishes originate.

Things That We Buy (Page 38) As a Maths integration activity, ask students to create a graph showing where all the objects chosen by the class were made. Discuss why most of the products we use come from a particular place.

Connecting To Places

This is a Ready-Ed Publications' book preview. Map Of The Torres Strait Islands (Page 40)

Tell students that the islands that lie between Cape York and Papua New Guinea are legally part of Queensland, and that Islanders still inhabit the islands but many Islanders now live in different areas of Australia. Thursday Island is the commercial capital of the Torres Strait Islands. Islanders formed groups when they first settled and each group had its own culture.

Extension Activity •

Students could locate different cultural groups on the map.

Aboriginal Storytelling (Pages 42 and 43) Before the children complete the activity sheet, explain that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples communicate the past through stories passed down from generation to generation. These stories are known as the Dreaming or Dreamtime. The stories are communicated through dance, music, storytelling and art. The Dreaming stories are all about the Earth’s creation. They tell tales of Ancestral Beings or Spirits moving around the Earth in human form creating animals, plants, rocks and other forms of the land that we know today. The spirits are then believed to have transformed into stars, rocks, trees, watering holes and other objects. These are regarded as sacred by Indigenous Australians. The Dreaming helps us to understand the unique relationship that Indigenous Australians have with the land as they believe that it is sacred and should be looked after. Before the students begin the activity sheet you might want to read some Dreaming

stories by logging on to: www.dreamtime. auz.net/. Some of these stories might relate to their local area. As an additional activity the students might want to explain one of these Dreaming stories in picture form. The best way for them to do this might be in the form of a storyboard or a sequence of pictures. Tiddalick The Greedy Frog is an Aboriginal Dreamtime story which could be said to explain droughts and floods. It could also be said to highlight the importance of sharing water resources and emphasise that all animals need water. Read out the story to the students then ask them to complete the activity. Other Dreamtime stories to share with your students are: The Rainbow Serpent, How The Crow Became Black, Brolga The Dancer, How The Sun Was Made, Where The Frost Comes From and The Black Swans. Students may like to create their own stories about the origin of flora, fauna or natural phenomena.

Indigenous Storytelling 1, 2 and 3 (Pages 44, 45 and 46) Answers •

There was plentiful food for all and things were in their natural state. 2. The sea eagle was a guardian, who looked after the island. 3. The gull allowed the animals to eat more than was necessary, causing a food shortage and depleting the island’s resources. Image analysis: the broken coral could lead to the loss of habitat for little fish so there would not be larger fish for local people and sharks; loss of fish species in the area; food shortages for the island community which could affect local tourism

Section 2

Connecting To Places

This is a Ready-Ed Publications' book preview. An Indigenous Connection 1 (Page 47)

Tell the students that older Aborigines, known as Elders, have the longest and closest connection with the land and pass their knowledge down to the younger generations. Tell the students that it is believed that Indigenous Australians walked from Asia to Australia on land bridges which are said to now be underwater. Students should colour the circle on the flag, yellow. The circle represents the sun and yellow ochre. Students should colour the bottom half of the flag, red which represents the red earth and red ochre. They should colour the top half of the flag, black. Black represents the Aboriginal people.

An Indigenous Connection 2 (Page 48) Students should begin to understand that traditional Aboriginal people were huntergatherers, which means that they made their own tools to hunt and gather food and therefore survive. Answers to matching activity: They used boomerangs to hunt kangaroos, possums and birds; spears were used to hunt fish; the coolamon was used to collect water; the digging stick was used to gather seeds, vegetables, fruit and witchetty grubs; a fishing net was used to gather crabs, oysters and turtles.

An Indigenous Connection 3 (Page 49) Discuss the significance of the boomerang with the children (it is an Aboriginal hunting tool made from resources taken from the land - wood from trees). The Aboriginal people used the boomerang to hunt large animals - which they ate to survive. Explain the significance of the Aboriginal colours (red, black and yellow). Tell the children that black symbolises the people, red symbolises the red

earth which they feel a strong connection to, and yellow symbolises the Australian sun.

An Indigenous Connection 4 (Page 50)

Discuss the way that traditional Indigenous Australians either walked, or travelled by makeshift boats pre-colonisation. They did not travel by horse, camel, car, train or plane. Explain that traditional Indigenous Australians made their own shelters using the resources available to them from the land – such as stones, plants, sticks, etc. Discuss the methods used by traditional Indigenous Australians to source food – they used hunting tools that they made themselves to spear fish and kill large animals such as kangaroos and possums, etc.

An Indigenous Connection 5 (Page 51) Discuss the way that traditional Indigenous Australians used coolamons made from the bark off trees to collect water from streams. Explain that traditional Indigenous Australians sourced vegetables underground by digging in the ground using makeshift digging sticks. Discuss the method used by traditional Indigenous Australians to keep warm – they would make fires from available wood and by rubbing two sticks against each other.

An Indigenous Connection 6 (Page 52) Clans can have as many as 500 members. Each clan has the right to hunt and collect food in a given territory. Invading someone else's territory usually results in conflict. Each clan has their own language. Some clans speak the languages of other clans nearby. Customs and laws are taken seriously.

Aboriginal Storytelling – Teachers’ Notes  Read this Aboriginal Dreamtime story to your students. It shows how Indigenous Australians had a special connection to animals in their Country/Place.

This is a Ready-Ed Publications' book preview. Tiddalick The Greedy Frog (adapted by Lisa Craig) A long time ago before people lived on Earth, there was a big frog called Tiddalick. Tiddalick lived in the hot Australian desert and he thought he was the boss of all the animals. CHORUS: Tiddalick was nasty, Tiddalick was mean, Tiddalick was a green, mean drinking machine! One day Tiddalick was very thirsty. He went to the only pond of water in the desert garden and he started to drink all the water. He drank and drank and drank. He grew bigger and bigger and bigger. (BLOW UP A GREEN BALLOON PAINTED WITH EYES TO ADD TO THE DRAMA.) He didn’t leave one drop of water in the pond. (CHORUS.) The other animals in the desert came to the pond to drink. There was no water! They were so thirsty. Then they saw big, fat Tiddalick. "Tiddalick drank all the water!” said the kangaroo. "What can we do?” asked the kookaburra. “I know!” said the sleepy wombat. “Let’s make him laugh and laugh and laugh, then all the water will come out of his mouth.” (CHORUS.) The kangaroo hopped on one leg. Then she hopped on the other. She hopped up and down, up and down, up and down. But Tiddalick didn’t laugh. “My turn,” said the emu. The emu danced the can-can and wobbled his big bottom at the frog. Tiddalick didn’t laugh, Tiddalick didn’t even smile! The frill-necked lizard was very confident. “Watch me, you big bad frog,” she cried. The lizard turned around and around and around like a ballerina on the desert sand until she was very dizzy, but Tiddalick didn’t laugh. The eel that lived in the pond wriggled over to Tiddalick and started to tickle his leg with his tail…then he tickled him on the tummy…then under Tiddalick’s arms. Now the eel was around Tiddalick’s neck and suddenly Tiddalick started to laugh. He laughed and laughed and laughed. Tiddalick laughed so much that all the water came out of his mouth and there was water again for the animals of the desert.

Go to www.readyed.net

The kangaroo, the kookaburra, the emu, the eel, the wombat and the lizard laughed too and they danced under the desert sun. All the animals were happy again. It’s true… (CHORUS). But Tiddalick learned something very important. Did you?

On an online map (such as Google Maps), ask students to point out places that they walk to and places that they drive to. Zoom out and ask them to show you the places where they would need to travel on a plane to get to. Discuss other forms of transport that they have used to get to places. Make the connection between distance and means of transport. Investigate the history of transport. Discuss how in the past most people did not travel far from their homes, and how modern forms of transport have made it much easier to travel around the world. Predict what transport will be like in the future. Students could use creative writing to explain how the world would be different if people could snap their fingers and be in another place instantly.
