6Mil  Global Connections and Diamond Ranking

We have been looking into Australia’s connections to the global community in our Interdisciplinary unit this term. Individually, we explored the connections Australia has with other countries through migration, education, sport, foreign aid, international agreements, tourism, communication, trade and employment.

In pairs, we used the Diamond Ranking routine to order these connections from most important to least, justifying our selections. Having the opportunity to share allowed our class to appreciate what connections our peers think are the most important. It gave way to some robust discussions and justifications.
