F-6/7 HASS - Year 4
Year 4 Achievement StandardBy the end of Year 4, students recognise the significance of events in bringing about change and the importance of the environment. They explain how and why life changed in the past and identify aspects of the past that have remained the same. They describe the experiences of an individual or group in the past. They describe and compare the diverse characteristics of different places at local to national scales. Students identify the interconnections between components of the environment and between people and the environment. They identify structures that support their local community and recognise the importance of laws in society. They describe factors that shape a person's identity and sense of belonging. They identify different views on how to respond to an issue or challenge.
Students develop questions to investigate. They locate and collect information and data from different sources, including observations to answer these questions. When examining information, they distinguish between facts and opinions and detect points of view. They interpret data and information to identify and describe distributions and simple patterns and draw conclusions. They share their points of view, respecting the views of others. Students sequence information about events and the lives of individuals in chronological order with reference to key dates. They sort, record and represent data in different formats, including large-scale maps using basic cartographic conventions. They reflect on their learning to propose action in response to an issue or challenge, and identify the possible effects of their proposed action. Students present ideas, findings and conclusions using discipline-specific terms in a range of communication forms.

FeedbackFeedback may relate to misunderstandings and common alternative conceptions. In this unit this may include:
Students may think that everyone experienced the past in the same way. Explain to students that each person’s experience is unique and the same event can be experienced in many different ways.
Students may think that the past is a story made of fixed facts. Explain to students that because people’s experiences are different, the way they tell the stories of what is happening can be different, too, so the ‘facts’ they record can be different and interpreted in different ways.
Students may think that every change in the past was for the good – they see change as progress. Explain to students that sometimes things change for the better, sometimes for the worse and can affect different people in different ways.
Students may think that when change happens, it is always quick. Explain that some changes can be immediate and dramatic, while others can occur slowly and be difficult to observe while they are happening.
Feedback may also relate to the development of students' knowledge, understanding and application of skills. In this unit this may include providing feedback about a student's ability to: pose questions and use information to answer them identify and record information from a range of primary and secondary source analyse and interpret sources describe how and why life changed and stayed the same in the past sequence events and developments
