In conclusion, this unit of work takes a holistic approach towards the geography discipline. Students gain knowledge and skills that can be applied to different
contexts and assist them in understanding the world they live in from local to global perspectives. The unit incorporates multiple forms of assessment for
educators to accurately form opinions on student learning and to inform future pedagogical practice. Through student-led inquiry, students immerse themselves in Victorian Curriculum:
the content and engage further with the skills and knowledge that this unit promotes. Finally, through recognition of accomplishments and celebrating student
work, students will have the opportunity to reflect on their learning, therefore using their metacognition to solidify the learning process. VCGGC085, VCGGC086, VCGGC087, VCGGC088, VCGGC090, VCGGK091, VCGGK092, VCGGK096
