Investigating Humanities for the Victorian Curriculum provides a time-saving teaching and learning solution to support every teacher in covering the new Victorian Curriculum with lesson planning built explicitly into the resource. The highly visual and engaging print and digital resources offer flexible and comprehensive coverage of the new curriculum with many opportunities for differentiated learning.

Features

• Chapters are framed around guiding investigation questions and are broken into a number of consistently-structured lessons, each designed to be completed in a single school period and to cover one curriculum content descriptor.
• Contributing authors and education consultants Sharon Davis (Bardi & Kija) and Julie Bover (non-Indigenous) centre Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures through chapter-based lessons showcasing enduring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledge, practices, and connections to Country/Place and the integration of First Nations voices across all Humanities topics, reflecting the ongoing strength, diversity, and resistance of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
• Content is concisely covered with carefully chosen and accessible language, and scaffolded to reduce cognitive load for students and suit the range of abilities in Victorian classrooms.
• Skills and concepts are integrated in the content through a range of activities that help students make connections between the skill and the subject matter.  
• The wide range of activities provided will engage and challenge students across each topic and provide opportunities for teachers to differentiate for individual learners.
• All history topic options are covered (some in digital chapters), while additional content in Year 9&10 ensures students are adequately prepared for VCE Business and Economics courses.
• Custom-made geography skills videos by the creators of popular YouTube channel Geography Explained Online provide hands-on, engaging demonstrations of traditional geography skills. Additional step-by-step videos are included showing how to use new digital technologies in the study of geography.
• Custom-made source-based History videos and real-world case-study videos in Economics & Business and Civics & Citizenship bring curriculum content to life.
• The fully integrated digital resources also provide additional rich material such as videos, quizzes, widgets and more.
