Hi Jodie. Great work on the introduction lesson plan. I will upload the planning format I used to mylo for you to transfer your lesson.

I have a few suggestions and questions for you. Your idea of using think, pair, share would work really well here to get ideas flowing.

A world map or globe sounds a great idea. At the end of my lesson plan the students are given questionnaires to complete with their families to gain information about when their families first immigrated to Australia. In the next lesson I thought the students could use a world map to share the different places families had immigrated from. This would link well from your lesson plan.



I really like the way you have introduced the topic using the picture book.

In the concluding activities maybe the teacher could sum up the key point introduced in this lesson as an end to the lesson.

Just be careful with the wording in your lesson plan. Our lesson sequence in being guided by the Pack your bags education program from the immigration museum. We just need to ensure that we don’t use the exact wording from this information. I need to read through my lesson to ensure I have not copied straight from these documents. Where do you think we should reference the Pack your bags education program? I thought maybe within the introduction of the unit/lesson sequence. Let me know your thoughts.

How was the immigration museum?
