What Year 2 HASS students should achieve
Coverage is judged against the achievement standard — not by ticking every content description. These are the official Year 2 HASS standard sentences this code builds towards:
- Students use sources, and subject-specific terms to present narratives and observations about the past, people and places at different scales.
- Students use interpretations to draw conclusions and make proposals.
- Students identify that those places can be spatially represented in different geographical divisions.
- Students develop questions, and collect, sort and record related information and data from observations and provided sources.
- They identify the effects of changes in technologies on people’s lives.
- They identify how people and places are interconnected both at local and broader scales.
