This wiki presents a differentiated unit of study for Assessment Task 3 in EDST6763. It has been developed by Ellen Lincoln (z3368806), Jacqueline Streimer (z3380311) and Nicholas Fernandez (z3368818).

This unit of study is for the preliminary [|Legal Studies] course, for stage 6 (Year 11). The unit of study is on the topic of 'Classification of Law' and includes materials to be taught over a two- week period.

The wiki presents the elements of the unit in a manner that would allow another teacher to use the resources and format to teach this unit. The pages of this wiki are listed on the left hand side of the screen, showing the objectives and other components of the unit. Users of the wiki should navigate through the materials by looking at each page in the order in which they are listed.

The wiki presents an interactive, online unit in which students can access the materials at any time. Students are able to read through the assignments at their own pace, and select from the table for each objective those that suit their interests and ability. The teacher can also upload lesson materials relevant to each objective. At the end of each objective, students should upload their completed assignments and reflections to the wiki to be marked by the teacher.

The essential parts of the EDST6763 assignment can be located as follows (click on the links to see examples of where these elements are found within the wiki):
 * A list of the objectives/outcomes of the unit (what you want students to learn)
