ANZAC Day - commemorating through word study

ANZAC Day Resource

With ANZAC Day approaching, this free 15-page resource helpful if you're planning some related discussions or commemorations. I've tried to include something for a range of year levels, so teachers can select what is appropriate for their students and their context. I've also added some little prompts for discussion as well as a copy of the Suffixing Conventions summary that I use. This resource does require some teacher knowledge in morphology and of orthography more generally.

Feel free to re-download the updated version and re-share this post.
