    Why Does the community value certain Indigenous places, landmarks or people? What are
    some of these in our community?

    Finding Out : 6
    Overview
    In this lesson students will investigate the inquiry question: Why Does the community value certain
    Indigenous places, landmarks or people? What are some of these in our community? Students
    will collaborate to list and explore landmarks relevant to their school and wider community.
    Research will then be conducted by students on these specific places, landmarks or people.
    Students will then have to discuss and evaluate the community without one of these specific
    landmarks.

    Explanation
    In previous lessons students have explored the values of their school community and the concept
    of kinship throughout the Finding Out stage. Prior to this, students have explored their
    connections to the school and wider community. Connections between the community and specific
    places/people will be explored using this prior knowledge.
