Teachers’ Notes

This is a Ready-Ed Publications' book preview.

Personal and Family Histories is written for students living in Australia who are studying History in Kindy and Pre-Primary. This teacher-friendly resource encourages students to develop their historical knowledge and understanding, and demonstrate historical skills. The book is divided into four comprehensive sections which connect to the National Curriculum.

Section One requires students to think about their own family. They are asked to identify members of their family and start to understand how each family member is related. They are also encouraged to recognise that people in their family may have been born and raised in different places around the world.

Section Two focuses on different types of families. It helps students to understand that not all families are the same, but all families are of equal value. It introduces terms such as ‘nuclear’, ‘only child’, ‘adoptive’, ‘extended’ and ‘blended’. It makes students aware of the family structure which is unique to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.

Section Three explores why the students celebrate certain days in the year. It also looks at the ways in which they celebrate these special days. ‘Welcome to Country’ ceremonies are examined in some detail.

The final section of the book looks at how we know about the past and how each student can find out about his/her family’s past.

At the beginning of each section in the book are detailed Teachers’ Notes which comment on every activity sheet. These notes suggest ways of introducing each activity, provide answers, list useful websites and outline possible extension activities. Every effort has been made to make each activity sheet visually appealing so that the students find the work accessible and interesting.

Students will learn through cutting and pasting, drawing, circling, highlighting, creating, writing, asking questions, comparing, sequencing, finding sources, matching, examining sources and labelling.

National Curriculum Links Historical Knowledge and Understanding ACHHK001: Who the people in their family are, where they were born and raised and how they are related to each other • identifying the different members of a family, (for example mother, father, caregiver, sister, brother, grandparent, aunty, uncle, cousin) and creating simple family trees with pictures or photographs (if possible using ICT) to show the relationship between family members • naming family members, finding out where they were born and raised and placing their photographs, drawings and names on a classroom world map

This is a Ready-Ed Publications' book preview.

ACHHK002: The different structures of families and family groups today, and what they have in common • considering a range of family structures, (for example nuclear, only child families, large families, single parent families, extended families, blended, adoptive parent, grandparent families) as well as kinship groups, tribes and villages • using images and stories to identify similarities and differences between students’ families and those of other children (in their class and in stories about children in other places, e.g. the countries of Asia) • exploring family structures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, e.g. where children belong to extended families in which there are specific roles and responsibilities to ensure safety and wellbeing ACHHK003: How they, their family and friends commemorate past events that are important to them • making a calendar of commemorative events that students, their family and friends celebrate, for example birthdays, religious festivals (such as Easter, Ramadan, Budda day, feast of Passover, family reunions and community commemorations (NAIDOC week and ANZAC Day) and discussing why they are important • discussing ‘Welcome to Country’ and recognising that the country, place and traditional custodians of the land or sea are acknowledged at ceremonies and events as a mark of respect ACHHK004: How the stories of families and the past can be communicated, for example through photographs, artefacts, books, oral histories, digital media, and museums • engaging with the oral traditions, painting and music of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and recognising that the past is communicated through stories passed down from generation to generation • sharing the story of an object from home, describing its importance to the family, e.g. photographs, old toys, statues, medals, artwork, jewellery and creating a class museum • recognising that stories of the past may differ depending on who is telling them, e.g. listening to stories about the same event related by two different people (such as mother and grandmother) Historical Skills ACHHS015: Sequence familiar objects and events • ordering significant personal events or milestones using photographs or drawings, e.g. walking, talking, the birth of a sibling, moving house, an illness, an achievement, first day of school ACHHS016: Distinguish between the past, present and future • using simple terms to denote time when students talk about ‘now’, ‘yesterday’, ‘today’, ‘tomorrow’ ACHHS017: Pose questions about the past using sources provided • inquiring from members of their families where they were born or raised • posing questions about artefacts, for example ‘Is it old or new?’, ‘What was it used for?’

ACHHS018: Explore a range of sources about the past • identifying relevant features of photographs of family and friends • describing interesting features of an object and photographs connected to the past

Go to www.readyed.net

ACHHS019: Identify and compare features of objects from the past and present • comparing objects from the past with those of the present using ‘older’, ‘newer’

ACHHS021: Develop a narrative about the past • retelling a story about a significant event a student’s family celebrates or commemorates, e.zg. birthdays, weddings, christenings, religious festivals • relating a story about their own life or describing an event they have experienced (orally or through pictures and photographs) 5

Ask the children to identify each family member on the activity sheet.

•

•

If they cannot read the words they can probably tell who the family members are from the pictures.

If children have particularly large families they might like to draw some more bubbles on the back of the sheet.

•

•

Talk about each family member. Ask them to raise their hands if they have a brother or a sister, etc.

Encourage the children to talk about the people who they have drawn/identified, and say how they relate to one another.

Families Are Related (page 13)

•

The children might have different names for their grandmothers and grandfathers - ask them about these names and write these names on the board.

Talk about the relationships between each family member, e.g. your grandmother is the mother of your mother/father, etc.

My Family (page 10) •

Ask the children to draw the people in their immediate family. Discuss the term ‘immediate’.

•

Ask the children to think about size as they draw. For example mums and dads should be bigger than themselves, etc.

Older children may be able to label the people in their pictures. Write the words that they might need on the board to help them.

Family Box (page 11) •

You could enlarge this page to A3 for younger students.

•

As an extension activity or homework, children could go to: www.houseofnames. com/?a=54323-172. When the children type in their surnames they will access their family coat of arms. A picture of the coat of arms will appear on the top right hand side of the screen. Students could print this out and bring into class.

•

Enlarge this family tree to A3 so that students have plenty of room to fill it in and add to it if applicable.

•

Create different family trees which show students’ cousins, etc.

•

As the students fill in their family trees discuss the relationships between family members.

Where Does My Family Come From 1? (page 14) •

Students will need to complete part of this sheet for homework as they will probably need to ask their parents for the information. This will give them the opportunity to demonstrate ACHHS017.

•

Keeping pictures of world flags in the classroom will assist children with this activity.

•

As an extension to this activity, students could draw or identify a number of flags which show where family members were born.

•

As an extension activity you could create a class map using the information from the students’ activity sheets.

Suggested Additional Activities For Section One •

Students could create their family out of Plasticine.

•

Students could make a ‘my family shoebox’. Each student should fill a shoebox with objects or photographs which are symbolic of each person in his/her family.

•

Create a picture graph to display in the classroom which records how many people are in each child’s family.

•

Ask the students to draw around one of their hands on a piece of card.

They can then cut out the shape. On each finger they can write the name of a family member. If they want to include more family members they can draw around both of their hands.

This activity could be entitled My Family In Five or My Family In Ten.

My Family Shield (page 16) •

Shields can be discussed and displayed so that children understand that not all families are the same.

A Special Family Member (page 17) •

Students will need a thick lead pencil to record fingerprints. They should create a large smudge on a piece of paper with a lead pencil, then press the tip of the finger into the smudge. They should then press the marked fingertip onto the activity sheet. There are generally three different types of fingerprints.

They may be interested to see which type they are.

•

Create a class quilt by joining students’ squares from this activity side by side on the wall in a large rectangular shape.

•

•

Discuss how not all squares are the same because families are often different. You might like to introduce the term ‘nuclear family’ when looking at the quilt so that students have an understanding that a nuclear family consists of two parents and children.

Types Of Families 1 (page 23) •

From this activity students should begin to understand that some families are large and others are small, that not everybody has siblings and some students live with extended family members or their grandparents. It doesn’t matter if students cannot find an example for each situation, as long as they begin to understand that not all families are the same.

Types Of Families 2 (page 24) •

•

Before students sit in groups go through each type of family listed on the table.

Terms like ‘blended’ and ‘single parent’ may be new to them.

You could create a bar or picture graph to display in class using the information from the students’ activity sheets.

Analyse the graph to determine the most and least popular family structures.

Types Of Families 3 (page 25)

20

To create a class family structure tree, you will need to find a dead branch and place it in a colourful pot filled with soil. Once each student has cut out his/her leaf, he/ she can tie a loop of string to the end and hook it on a section of the branch.

Alternatively, you can cut a trunk and branches out of brown construction paper and stick the leaves to it to create a wall display.

Photocopy the leaf outline onto different coloured bits of paper to create a more visually appealing tree.

Family Roles (page 27) •

Discuss other roles that the children do that are not on the sheet. Talk about mums’ and dads’ roles and compare students’ responses. Discuss how roles within Australian families are changing.

Indigenous Family Structures And Roles 1 (page 28) •

This activity sheet will need introducing.

Students will need to be aware who Indigenous Australians are – although some may already know.

•

Tell them that Indigenous Australians were the first people to set foot in Australia. It is believed that they walked to Australia on land bridges, which are now underwater.

•

This activity will help consolidate students' understanding about different family structures.

•

Students can paste pictures inside the boxes instead of drawing.

•

They have lived in Australia for thousands of years and their family structure is very special.

•

Tell them that clans can consist of as many as 500 people.

You can talk about the fact that roles within Australian families are changing and that roles within some Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families are no longer traditional.

Suggested Additional Activities For Section Two •

Cut out pictures of families in magazines and make a collage. Discuss the different family structures.

•

Read books that feature different family structures, e.g. blended, single parent, extended, adoptive, etc.

Some suggested texts are:

•

(pages 38 and 39)

•

Students can share with the rest of the class what they did to celebrate their last birthday. This will give them the opportunity to develop a narrative about the past and demonstrate ACHHS021.

Students could make a birthday card for someone whose birthday is approaching.

Easter 1, 2 and 3 (pages 35-37) •

•

This activity sheet will need introducing to some, if not all, students. There may be some students in your class who are already aware of Jesus and the Christian belief that he died so that Christians could live and then rose from the dead. Try to explain the story as simply as possible so that the students understand what we are celebrating at Easter: Jesus (who had many followers) was arrested on a Thursday after eating with his disciples (The Last Supper) and was ordered by Pontius Pilate and King Herod to be crucified the next day on Friday (Good Friday). After his crucifixion his body was placed in a tomb with a boulder at the entrance so his followers, who wanted him to be King, could not access his body. On Sunday (Easter Sunday), women went to the tomb to prepare his body for burial but the boulder had been rolled aside and the body had gone. Jesus had risen from the dead. On Easter Sunday we eat chocolate eggs because eggs symbolise new life and the cross on hot cross buns represent Jesus’ crucifixion.

•

Some background information about ANZAC Day in the form of a class discussion will be useful to students before beginning the activity sheets. You could cover the following information:

•

ANZAC stands for Australian (and) New Zealand Army Corps.

•

ANZAC Day is celebrated every year on 25th April. It was first celebrated in 1916.

•

Today, on ANZAC Day we remember all soldiers who have fought in all wars.

ANZAC Day was first established to remember those who fought in World War I. ANZACS were sent to Gallipoli in 1915 to capture the Gallipoli peninsular, an area almost completely surrounded by water, so that they could secure a point from which to capture Constantinople and knock the Turkish out of the war. The ANZACS landed in Gallipoli on 25th April and fought the Ottoman Turkish army.

The fighting lasted for over eight months and over 8,000 Australians were killed.

•

As an extension activity you could make some ANZAC biscuits in class.

•

You could ask an ANZAC to come in to class and talk to the students about his/ her experiences.

•

Maybe visit local ANZAC memorials and museums.

•

Look at ANZAC artefacts, such as uniforms, badges, etc.

•

Log on to: www.anzacday.org.au/ interactives/childhood/puzzles/main. html This site has interactive ‘click and drag’ puzzles displaying images relating to ANZAC day.

Extension activities could include: decorating blown eggs, baking hot cross buns, and singing ‘Hot Cross Buns’ and ‘Lord of the Dance’.

•

Tell the students that the National Flag is not only flown on Australia Day but on other special days, such as: ANZAC Day, United Nations Day and Remembrance Day. Discuss what each part of the flag means. (The Southern Cross represents Australia’s geographical position in the Southern Hemisphere as you can’t see this constellation from the Northern Hemisphere. The Commonwealth Star represents all the different states and territories in Australia, and the Union Jack symbolises the early colonisation of Australia.)

Tell them that there are rules associated with the National Flag. Some are: The flag should not be flown/displayed upside down. It is not to be placed or dropped on the ground or used to cover an object.

Faded flags should not be displayed.

Tell them that Captain Arthur Phillips and the First Fleet (which consisted of eleven ships carrying convicts, marines, various skilled men such as, surgeons and their families and supplies) set up the first colony in New South Wales on 26th January 1788.

My Celebrations (page 41) •

•

32

Brainstorm a list of other celebrations that the students take part in each year before they begin the activity sheet (Christmas Day, Halloween, Melbourne Cup Day, Royal Agricultural Show Days, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day etc.). For extension activities students could create hats for Melbourne Cup Day and show bags for Royal Agricultural Show Day, etc.

•

Tell the students that older Aborigines, known as Elders, usually perform the Welcome to Country ceremonies because they have the longest and closest connection with the land.

•

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 begin to understand that traditional Aboriginal people were hunter-gatherers, 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.

Tell them that many indigenous skeletons have been dug up at traditional indigenous burial sites and experts have tested these skeletons to determine the length of time that the Aborigines have inhabited Australia. Some date back thousands and thousands of years and prove that Aborigines were the first people to inhabit Australia.

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.

The students should identify the second picture as rock art. Tell the students that indigenous art work can be found at indigenous rock shelters on the walls.

Experts are able to date the art work and understand how long Aborigines have been in Australia.

Suggested Additional Activities For Section Three •

The third picture is of a traditional Aboriginal hunting tool. Hunting tools have been dug up and dated, to again show that Aborigines have lived in Australia for a long time and are the traditional owners of the land.

Another day you might like to discuss with the children in Ramadan. This is an important Muslim festival.

Muslims follow the Islamic faith:

•

“Islam” means submission to the will of God (Allah). Mohammed is Allah’s prophet – he was given the tenets of their faith which he wrote down. This book is known as The Koran.

•

Muslims must follow the teachings of the Koran which establishes codes of behaviour, outlines rules about family life, education and business and specifies which foods should be eaten.

•

There are five duties that Muslims must fulfil (these are known as the five pillars of Islam). They are: fasting the daylight hours of Ramadan, believing that there is only one God (Allah) and that Mohammad is his prophet, praying in the proper manner at specified times each day (sunrise, noon, mid-afternoon, sunset and at night), the giving of Zakat (a percentage of one’s income to the poor), and fulfilling at least one pilgrimage to Mecca.

The students should identify the man in the picture as an archaeologist who studies artefacts from the near or distant past to learn about different cultures and civilisations.

As an extension activity set up sand trays around the classroom to simulate an archaeological dig.

Take students to local rock shelters to see rock engravings and paintings, or to a museum which displays indigenous artefacts.

Family Stories From The Past

This is a Ready-Ed Publications' book preview.

Photographs Tell Stories (page 50) •

Tell the students that photographs are a great way of recording people’s daily lives in the past and present.

•

Ask them to think of the last photograph that they remember being taken (e.g. a photograph of the family dog yesterday, a photograph of them at their friend’s house). Students can take turns telling the rest of the class about the last photograph that they remember being taken.

•

Show the students a recent photograph.

Ask them how they can tell that it was taken recently (in colour, in good condition, contemporary clothing, things look familiar).

•

Show students an old photograph.

Ask them how they can tell that the photograph was taken a long time ago (in black and white, colours have faded, in poor condition, edges tattered, things don’t look familiar, clothes look dated, objects in the photograph are recognisable but not in use today).

•

Ask the students to bring in an old photograph which shows their parents, grandparents or other elder when they were young. They can paste it on to their activity sheets and fill in the information.

•

As an extension activity, students can repeat the activity with a recent photograph.

•

Tell them that historians believe that 60 million years ago dinosaurs roamed the Earth.

•

Go to: http://trove.nla.gov.au/picture for a searchable database of historic pictures and photographs.

Pictures Tell Stories 2 (page 52) •

Students should colour: the camel (as it was a means of transportation), the pyramids (as Ancient Egyptians buried important kings (Pharaohs) inside), the statue (because Ancient Egyptians believed that there were hundreds of gods and they appeared in animal form.

Statues of animals were the Pharaohs' way of honouring the gods).

Pictures Tell Stories 3 (page 53) •

Discuss the way that traditional Indigenous Australians either walked, or travelled by makeshift boats precolonisation. 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.

Pictures Tell Stories 4 (page 54) •

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.

•

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.

Aboriginal Storytelling (pages 55 and 56) •

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.

Students could paste photographs of themselves in the boxes instead of drawing. Students could cut out the words at the bottom of the page and paste them next to, or inside the boxes.

Alternatively they can copy the words.

•

Oral Histories (page 61) •

Each student will need to chat to his/ her chosen person and listen carefully to complete the activity sheet. Pictures and words can be used to record the interviewee's responses.

•

You might like to invite parents, grandparents and elders into the classroom to talk about their childhoods (ACHHS020).

Artefacts Tell Stories (page 58) •

This activity gives students the opportunity to demonstrate some historical skills. It asks them to distinguish between what is old and what is new and compare objects from the past with those of the present (ACHHS017, ACHHS019).

•

Discuss how they know that the old artefacts are not new, and talk about the features of each object and how they would have been used (ACHHS017, ACHHS018, ACHHS019).

Enlarging the activity sheet to A3 will be useful.

Different Views (Page 62) •

From this activity students should begin to recognise that stories of the past can differ depending on who is telling them, because people remember events in different ways.

Students might bring in an object that they got on their birthday, on a special trip or event. It will be important to them because it will remind them of that day.

•

You could display the students’ artefacts and create a class museum.

Artefact Rubbings (page 60) •

Students will need to choose suitable objects for this activity such as: pieces of jewellery, medals, coins, etc. They can practise taking rubbings of things in school first, using bricks and signs, etc.

Activity Aboriginal Storytelling – Teachers’ Notes  Read this Aboriginal Dreamtime story to your students.

This is aTiddalick Ready-Ed Publications' The Greedy Frog book preview. (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?
