History lesson plans

Curriculum alignment

A lesson plan sequences one lesson from start to finish — the content descriptions it addresses, the learning intention, the teaching steps and the student task — so it can be taught as written or adapted.

Resources here are written against Version 9.0 of the Australian Curriculum, the version schools have been teaching from since the staged rollout began.

History sits within Humanities and Social Sciences, where Version 9.0 pairs Knowledge and Understanding with an inquiry skills strand: questioning, sourcing evidence, analysing perspectives and communicating findings.

State-specific editions are available for 8 jurisdictions where the syllabus wording differs.
