The new Year 10 Civics and Citizenship course begins with a comparative study between Australia and a nation in Asia. The content descriptor reads: "The key features and values of Australia’s system of government compared with ONE other system of government in the Asia region."
China Today is a 14-page resource that begins by prompting students to 'take' a snapshot of China's geographical location, economy and population. As students work through the resource, they will gain a sophisticated understanding of China's political system and of her political values. This resource promotes inquiry-based learning and visible thinking principles. Therefore, there are a number of challenging ideas and activities for students to investigate and work through. We would like to thank Dr. Jie Chen for his time and expertise in reviewing this resource.
It is envisaged that China Today will provide all the information necessary for students to make evaluative conclusions in their comparative study of Australia and China. Purchase your copy here and print class sets for your students.
