Teaching the texts and language of HASS /
"In 'Teaching the texts and language of HASS', authors Bronwyn Custance and Tony Hole provide an explicit and systematic guide for teaching the specific literacies of the Humanities and Social Sciences (HASS) sub-strands of History, Geography, and Civics and Citizenship. With special attention paid to literacy as the capacity to make meaning from texts (comprehending) and through texts (composing), and the core interests and values of the HASS learning area, this book is every primary teacher’s ultimate guide to HASS instruction. The first part of the book establishes the core genres and language demands in HASS. In the second part, in chapters devoted to each primary year group, the authors provide year-appropriate model texts, discuss their key language features and provide guidance on how to explicitly teach the Discourse of HASS." - Back cover.
