Civics and Citizenship

Content Descriptor

who makes rules, why rules are important in the school and/or the local community, and the consequences of rules not being followed

Elaborations

  • • developing and justifying a set of fair rules and consequences for the class
  • • identifying familiar rules, how rules protect the rights of others, what their responsibilities are to others, and the consequences when rules are not followed
  • • exploring who has the authority to make rules in different contexts (for example, parents, teachers, coaches) and considering why rules differ across these contexts, such as a school playground, in class, at home, or in sport
  • • discussing situations where it is not fair to have one rule that treats everyone the same; for example, if some people, such as students with disability, have different needs or would be unable to follow the rules
  • • exploring cultural norms behind some rulemaking; for example, removing shoes before entering places of cultural or religious significance

Year 3 ASHASHASY3
Year 3 Humanities and Social Sciences Achievement Standard
By the end of Year 3, students describe the causes, effects and contributions of people to change. They identify the significance of events, symbols and emblems to Australia’s identity and diversity. They describe the representation of places within and near Australia. They identify the similarities, differences and connections of people to places across those scales. Students describe the importance of rules and people’s contributions to communities. Students develop questions and locate, collect and record information and data from different sources. They interpret information and data in different formats. They analyse information and data to identify perspectives and they draw conclusions. They propose actions or responses. Students use ideas from sources, and subject-specific terms to present descriptions and explanations.
