Reading in Term 3 will focus on Government and Citizenship. In this unit of work, students will firstly look at rules and laws to identify the differences between the two and reasons why they are so important. Following this they will then discover what democracy is and features of a democratic society. This then complements several more topics for investigation, namely: Government, Parliamentary features and the process involved in law making. The final component of our reading this term will look at prominent political figures, their position and roles for their various political parties.
To conclude this unit of work we will look at Elections, the electoral process and the issues that people consider when casting their vote. Students will also gain an understanding of preferential voting, voting age and penalties for not casting a vote during an election. Much of this knowledge will then be utilised in a visit to Parliament House.
