Days, Flags and National Symbols

Part 1 of the handbook ends with a run of items that all feel like "Australian things": two national days, three flags, an anthem, a coat of arms, a flower, a gemstone and a pair of colours.

That is where marks go. A student who knows every item on that list can still lose a question by putting green and gold on the flag, or the kangaroo on the flag instead of the Coat of Arms.

So this lesson sorts everything into three boxes — dates, flag elements, national symbols — and keeps them apart. Ten practice questions follow the teaching, one group at a time.
