Learning Experiences:
1. Introduction: (How will I engage the learners?)

5 mins

Explain quickly the lesson and the fact that this is an assessment.
Ask them what they already know about Australian voting rights and
regulations and begin to brain storm on the board to get them
started.
Get some confident students to come up and write on the board.
2.
Sequence of learning experiences: (What will you do to help the
students achieve the
learning objectives? What tasks and activities will the students be
involved in to help
achieve the learning objectives?)
After brainstorming on the board, get the students to construct
their own brainstorm.
They will be given a worksheet to work off which includes a list of
everything they need to include in their brainstorm;
-A list of the stages in federal Australian elections
-Dot points for and against compulsory voting.
-Explain who has the right to vote in an Australian election
-Explain what happens if you dont vote
-List and explain the responsibilities of Australian voters
Then Imogen will continue with her part of the lesson which is
going through the questions in the work sheet and getting them to
answer on a blank sheet of paper.

Thanking them for being cooperative and good behaviour.

Lesson Evaluation:
(Reflect on the lesson. What worked? What did not work? What would you change? Why?)
I think that I could have been better prepared with the lesson, in the way that I had
assumed that they would remember some of the key points of Australian voting, however
they needed their files with their work in to get the information from.
