Our Voices Phase 3 TRB

The Our Voices Teacher's Resource Book is an essential component of the Our Voices series. It not only explains the philosophy behind the series, but also presents numerous activities and strategies that will help primary-school students to understand Australia's past. Students will also learn to interpret current issues and events so they can effectively contribute to Australia's society in the future.

Detailed teacher notes and learning activities support each Source Book, Extract Book, Poster Pack and Big Book in the series. The information is designed to provide learning experiences that promote discussion and encourage students to engage, explore and reflect on a particular theme.

Each Our Voices Teacher's Resource Book features:

• key concepts, knowledge, skills and attitudes for each theme, which can be used to plan a unit of work
• a wide variety of learning experiences that will promote, develop and consolidate conceptual understandings
• blackline master activities that will assist students to organise and present information and to demonstrate their understandings of a theme or text
• an accessible and flexible format that teachers can use to meet their individual teaching styles and the abilities of their students

The Phase 2 and Phase 3 Teacher's Resource Books also include related websites and lists of institutions and organisations for each theme. Students and teachers can use this information to undertake additional research.
