Series: Integrated Units
Notes
Many of the Key Competency skills are incorporated into this unit - allowing students to follow their own study path based on Understanding by Design and Habits of Mind, with many opportunities for questioning, discussion and reflection. A ready-to-go unit that will enable students to tackle the big question of how civilisations grow and prosper, or diminish and fail.
