Thinking About Me and Us
Get them thinking creatively, critically and reflectively. This series offers units that progressively help children to develop and strengthen these higher order processes. The emphasis is on inquiry learning, prompting children to explore issues like personal identity, goals and direction, and relating to others. A wide range of thinking strategies and graphic organisers are employed. The Thinking About Me and Us series links with the health and English curriculums.
