Meeting History and English outcomes through the use of multimodal texts




When I'm choosing books as resources for lessons aimed at meeting both History and English outcomes and am guided by the general topics of family and family celebrations, and significance (Early Stage One and Stage One), local community celebrations and time passing (Stage One), broader community celebrations such as ANZAC day, continuity and change, early European settlement (Stage Two) and refugees, second fleet, effects of expanding settlement (Stage Three). While the History syllabus does cover a broader range of topics these are the topics most readily included as themes in picture books.
Following is a list of the online clips that can also be useful for studying language features, visual elements and text structures as they apply to the types of History texts students are expected to read/view and write/compose.
