Federation Posters and Activity Sheets

The Federation Posters and Activity Sheets teaching resource explores the political foundations of Australia leading up to Federation in an engaging visual format. This set includes 8 large A3 posters featuring topics such as the Federation pavilions, early Federation conventions, the Australian Constitution, Henry Parkes' contributions, reasons for uniting the colonies, referendums held, and the establishment of Canberra as the capital. The back of each colorful poster contains 2 reproducible master pages for a total of 16 student activity sheets that complement the information on the front. With both visual posters and activity sheets, this resource allows teachers to immerse upper elementary students in the history behind Australia's Federation and early 20th century nationhood.
