This unit includes everything you need to teach a Families: Continuity and Change unit for Year 1 HASS for the entire term! Paired with my 'Past and Present' unit, you can tick off all your History planning.
Through this unit, students explore their own families in terms of members, structure and roles. They identify and compare differences in family structures and roles today, and how these have changed or remained the same over time.
