INTERACTION &
COMMUNICATION
In this first lesson I told them I
was going to use the roll to ask
questions but did not do it. In
the second lesson I made a
concerted effort to do this. This
is not so bad as it gets the quiet
ones to join in. If students were
being a little disruptive, I stood
near them which generally
settled them down. Although I
need to consider they maybe
talking about something that
could be on topic and shared
with the whole class. Sometimes
I struggled for words to say what
I was trying to say.
Follow-up
I will try to tune in to what
students are saying. See if it is
appropriate to the discussion
and can be shared. Keep using
the Interactive whiteboard to
get used to it. How is this
evaluation going to impact in
future learning experiences for
your pupils?

Robert Menzies
1949 Robert Menzies was elected PM of Australia Liberal 16 years the nation was still
recovering from the Great Depression and WWII. He promised to end wartime restrictions, provide a boost to Aust
economy. At this stage most people believed Australia would remain a British country.
They were in a War recovery program petrol being rationed, strikes on the water front, railways and
coalmines. Coal based power met most of the worlds energy needs so strikes would mean what power
blackouts and these were constant.
Australians still felt vulnerable to attack. Why? The last war had been in Pacific and there had been bombings on
Aust soil who can tell me where they attacked us or evidence of it? (Darwin and Sydney submarine).
Immigration a strong force changing Australian society in the decades after WWII. In 1944 they appointed a
minister for Immigration Arthur Calwell, established the Assisted Passage Scheme to attract British
immigrants which was later extended to encourage European immigrants from nations such as Italy, Germany,
Greece Yugoslavia and Holland. 70,000 every year can anyone tell me why we might have needed these
people? For reconstruction. Help meet Australias labour shortages in the fields of industry and agriculture. And
in building the Snowy Mountains Scheme building pump stations, tunnels, aqueducts, power stations and dams.
Can you tell me did these immigrants come to our local area? Where? Bonegilla, King Valley, Myrtleford,
Whorouly What areas in the local district are populated by these people? Did this include the Asian peoples?
Why WWII fears and long standing fear of Asians from 1800s. Offered a chance of prosperity
Populate So the population was increasing with immigrants. The government encouraged
women to have large families. And this also happened because men returned from the war so there were
more children. Baby boomers 1949 -1960 born then. A lot of focus on child-rearing
strengthened the place of women in the home and men as the breadwinners . Media
pushed about virtues of motherhood, also war jobs were filled by men and returned servicemen, so
women who had been paid workers during the war were now at home. Some like this and some didnt. This caused
social problems of its own. The promotion of prosperity in this period led to belief Australia was a lucky country.
SHOW HOUSING FOOTAGE
Communications With the introduction on TV, radio programs began to provide more
music, sport and news services. Radio stars became the fast talking disc jockeys and compares, and
talkback radio was introduced. Many people now had their own portable radios.
SHOW ENTERTAINMENT FOOTAGE
In the 1950s there was a development in technology which connected Australia to the wider
world and started to break down the barriers of distance between countries. Commercial
airlines- reduced intercontinental travel which opened up travel. Australia produced first Holden car.
SHOW TRANSPORT FOOTAGE
The biggest business in Australia was PMG they handled postage, telephone services and television
licences because people had to pay a fee to own a TV and receive the transmission. Photocopiers came into use
in the 1950s and the first satellites were launched.
