This document outlines a professional development session about developing higher-order thinking skills in students through a cross-curricular unit on Australia's asylum seekers and refugees. The 8-week unit aims to have students think beyond themselves and see themselves as part of a global community. Students will analyze images, work in groups, and complete assessments including essays. The session discusses introductory activities, image analysis, group roles, video analysis, follow-up interviews and surveys, and resources available for teaching the unit.
