The Pack contains associated resources for the learning experience, typically in the form of articles and videos. There is a teacher Pack (with only teacher information) and a student Pack (which contains only student information). As a teacher, you can toggle between both to see everything.
Here are the teacher pack items for Australia and Oceania: Government and Economy:
In this experience, students learn about the government and economy of Australia and New Zealand. Then they compare and contrast the two. Next, they explore the relationship between the governments of the two countries and explain its effect on their economies. Finally, students describe how the rich natural resources of the region contribute to their economies. Objective:Overview:
If you have ever lived outside the United States—or have come here from another country—you may know that not all governments are the same. The countries of Australia and New Zealand, however, have governments that are pretty similar to the United States and Great Britain, even though they are halfway around the world. You will learn about the government and economies of these two countries in this experience.
Objective:
How do you think the governments and economies of Australia and New Zealand are similar and different? Explain in two sentences or more, and explain your predictions.
Students may predict that the two nations have similar governments because they were both colonized by Great Britain and inherited its governmental and judicial model. They might guess, correctly, that Australia has a larger economy because it is a larger and better-known nation.
