The Then and Now History Unit is suitable for Foundation Year through to Year 2.
This pack is jam packed with everything you need to teach about the historical changes in technology, transport and life from the past to today. In addition to 12 activities, the pack comes with an easy to follow instructions on how to use each resource.
My students love the flashcards and the easy to use flip book to record their discoveries.
A craftivity is a great way to solidify learning in a fun and interactive way. My students loved making the diorama, cutting, colouring and pasting the buildings and trees then thinking about where they might go. We undertook a short writing activity to go with their displays, explaining what historical changes had occurred in people's lives.
The pack also includes several text and comprehension question sheets on different aspects of life in the past verses life now.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI am really interested in purchasing this product. I am wondering if you are selling it within Australia - not on TPT. As the Aus$ is quite low I was hoping to avoid TPT and the poor conversion rate.
Hi, at the moment I only have this product listed on TPT but I can invoice you in Australian dollars via PayPal if you give me your email address. That way I can email it directly to you.
