  • • considering anticipated effects of actions designed to protect and improve places that people perceive as important, such as places of environmental, cultural or religious value, or historic significance
  • • developing a plan of action to achieve a set goal; for example, to protect a place, to participate in a community festival or commemoration, to raise awareness about an issue, to raise money for a purpose
  • • arguing a point of view on a civics and citizenship issue relevant to their lives (for example, the consequences of breaking school rules, the value of contributing to their community, the need to preserve an endangered species) and making effective use of persuasive language such as “I think” and “I dis/agree that” to gain the support of others

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.
