Lesson 1 & 2 (double lesson)
Field Trip (Molonglo River Corridor) - This teaching episode aims to give students the capacity to use prior in-class knowledge identify and assess environmental change in the area. Using digital cameras, students are able to demonstrate their understanding and ability to identify environmental change.
Because the students are looking at examples of environmental change first hand, they will be able to get a better understanding of the issues and the effects they will have. The task aims to trigger group discussions amongst the students. As a teacher, I will be able to point out and discuss any issues in greater depth.
