This Foundation HASS unit, Me on the Map, includes everything you need to teach geography for a full term. With 100+ slides, 10 detailed lessons and engaging activities, students explore special places, local maps and where they belong in Australia – all aligned to the Australian Curriculum.
This unit includes everything you need to teach an Australian Curriculum aligned ‘Me on the Map’ unit for Foundation & Pre-Primary HASS for the entire term! Paired with my ‘Places We Belong’ unit, all of your Geography content is covered.
This unit helps students understand their place in the world, starting with special places they know and love, as well as how to care for them, before building out to maps, communities, and their connection to Country.
Important: As this is an Australian resource, the majority of lessons focus on Australian locations, states and territories. Where possible, I have included templates and generic options to suit broader locations.
