It has 25 practical units which individually and together explain and address terms referred to in the curriculum. The material is presented in a flexible way that allows teachers to use the information, ideas and activities at different year levels and with students of different ability levels. Each chapter contains multiple activities: some are quite specific, others open ended. Some chapters will be integrated units; others will be a succession of discrete activities on the chapter topic."--Publisher Analysis Australian Notes Contributors are Joe Belanger, Mel Dixon, Susanne Gannon, Bianca Hewes, Eve Mayes, Wayne Sawyer, Jane Sherlock, Gersha Shteyman, Deb Simpson, Ken Watson Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Subject English language -- Study and teaching (Secondary) -- Australia.
