Please note that some lessons may require some resource development on your part (for example, putting together a slideshow of images relevant to your state).
You will receive a PDF document of all your resources as well as an editable POWERPOINT file to create your own Place Posters. I have included posters featuring beautiful photographs for Brisbane city, Queensland, Australia and Earth at the end of the PDF resource, just in case you're a Brisbane local like myself!
