How to build a suburb: Primary school education kit 2008-9
The How to Build a Suburb education kit has been specifically designed to teach upper primary students how suburbs are planned, built and maintained in the ACT. The kit was developed in response to a national planning review that found there was a significant need to encourage children and young people to better understand their built environment and initiate potential future interest in urban planning.
The education package will be available throughout 2009. The five week program is ideal for upper primary classes (yr fiveand six) of up to 40 students.
The kit contains a suite of five lesson plans (single and double lessons versions available)
-
student information work sheets (12 in total)
-
huge A0 map (allows groups of four to work together)
-
-
specialised instruction for ACTPLA's Education Officer + planning staff
The kit, including instructions and all materials is free of charge.
If your school would like to partner with ACTPLA to run the program or you would like further information, please contact mark.metters@act.gov.au or phone (02) 6207 5220.
