Overview A number of schools are implementing History at the pedagogical level in 2010 – historical inquiry. It would be beneficial to have a model to place on SharePoint which shows teachers and students in our schools working through an historical inquiry. We envisage working with two schools who are close geographically – Alexandra Hills and Victoria Point. We would like to focus on an historical inquiry from the Year 6 content descriptors to do with Australia. Benefits would include:
 * A Changing Australia **
 * The creation of a community of learners across two schools who can support each other as they plan, monitor and assess in the subject area of History
 * The creation of an exemplary model for historical inquiry for sharing
 * The embedding of ICLTs in the teaching of History
 * Building up competence and confidence in teachers as they embark on the implementation of the Australian Curriculum

Inquiry Question
 * What were the experiences of migrants to Australia in the second half of the 20th Century and what factors contributed to the way in which they settled in Australia? (Greek, Italian, Vietnamese, Muslim)`
