Activities for your Australia Unit
Here are some activity ideas for your Australia Unit! These are all great for your middle school social studies classroom!
Digital Geography Activity
Go digital! Spiral geography skills in a digital activity like this one! This digital geography activity asks students to identify locations on a map, but it also has fill in the blank prompts, too.
The kids’ favorite part of this activity are the research slides! Students will find their own images of key places in Australia. They will also research Australia’s climate, history, and other fun facts.
Your most likely favorite part of this activity will be the pre-set Google Forms quiz. It’s 10 multiple choice and it’s self-grading. It’s editable, but you shouldn’t need to do a thing!
PRO TIP: I like to spot check the digital activity, then take a grade on the quiz. This will save you a ton of time grading!
Digital Activity
Geography in a variety of ways.
Nonfiction Reading Packets
You simply cannot go wrong with adding nonfiction text to your unit. Literacy skills are almost always in need of improvement, so this is a great way to move that needle!
I have created a nonfiction reading worksheet packet for each standard and element for Georgia 6th Grade Social Studies, so you have plenty to choose from for your Australia Unit!
One-Pager Notes
This is SUCH a helpful resource! Having all the key information on one page is a great snapshot of your unit, and it can be used so many different ways!
Students can fill this in as they learn about Australia.
You can give students the answer key copy in the beginning of the unit to reference as you go through the unit.
Students can fill this in at the end of the unit to review or self-assess.
You can give students the answer key copy to use as a study guide.
