What did you notice about student engagement in the learning with the Walking with an ANZAC kit? They were really engaged. Because it was REAL and they could handle an artifact it hooked them in.

“The kit was awesome. When I opened the bag and file of artifacts the students were hooked. They added a different dimension. I worked with a Year 9 class and they researched together in pairs to find out about their ANZAC soldier. The website was incredibly easy to navigate and interesting for the students. They struggled reading the hand written text on the documents but definitely learnt some good research skills along the way.”

“What an amazing resource. Although my children are Year 3 and 4, they all had a fabulous time discovering more about the soldiers. It opened up their eyes to the fact that the people going to war had a back story, they were not just a number on a sheet. But they were each a person who made a huge sacrifice for their country. In the modern day world of ";its all about me and what I can get out of it"; the children learnt what giving to others meant.”

What did you notice about student engagement in the learning with the Walking with an ANZAC kit? Students were fully engaged in this resource kit. They just loved the items and finding out about them. They loved it so much that they wanted to spend longer on it. We are going to use it again next year to start off our Social Studies program in Year 8.

“This resource was fantastic to use with our Year 8 Students. We used it at the start of 2019 as an introduction to Social Studies and it had the students hooked right from the start. We did adapted some activities a little bit to suit our students.”
