Alignment with Curriculums

Australian Curriculum

This poster directly develops critical thinking by aligning with the Australian Curriculum’s Critical and Creative Thinking capability (ACARA, v9.0). It teaches children to question manipulative language and spot logical tricks. The clear definition and example build critical literacy skills in Literacy (e.g., AC9E6LA03) by analysing persuasive texts, while the cartoon strengthens critical inquiry in Civics (e.g., AC9HC7S01) for ages 8–14 (Years 3–8).

US Common Core

This poster builds strong critical thinking skills and meets US Common Core ELA standards by teaching students to trace, evaluate, and challenge arguments (e.g., CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.6.8). It trains Grades 5–8 (ages 10–13+) to separate solid evidence from distractions like red herrings. The real-life example also boosts critical discussion skills (e.g., CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.7.2) so kids confidently question what they see and hear.

UK National Curriculum

Perfectly matched to the UK National Curriculum’s focus on developing sharp critical thinking in English and Citizenship (Key Stages 2–3, ages 7–14). Students learn to spot bias, evaluate arguments, and resist manipulation - exactly what’s required in Year 6 English (e.g., evaluating texts for bias and opinion vs. fact) and KS3 Citizenship (e.g., analysing how media influences opinions and recognising bias in sources).
