Australian Geography Series Workbook 7 – Unit 2: Place And Liveability has been written for Year 7 students studying Geography in Australia. Year 7 – Unit 2 is divided into six sections which clearly link to the Australian National Curriculum: The Location Of Indigenous Australians; Liveability; Around The World; Centrality; Other Factors That Affect Where We Live; and Living Now And In The Future.

Notes for the teacher are in the accompanying Australian Geography Series Teachers’ Manual and contain answers, suggested extension activities and ideas about how to introduce each activity sheet. Each activity sheet within Australian Geography Series Workbook 7 – Unit 2: Place And Liveability is designed to engage the students and help them to develop an appreciation of why people live where they do. Students will be encouraged to develop geography skills by: observing, questioning, planning, collecting, evaluating, processing, analysing, interpreting and drawing conclusions.
