There have been some recent improvements in the Australian Curriculum with regards to General Capabilities and Cross Curriculum priorities. They are now tagged in Learning areas and there is a very clear distinction between the capabilities that are to be developed or applied to content and those that are there as an opportunity to focus on as suggested in the content elaborations.
Below is an example of Year 7 History's Investigation of an Ancient Society. The General Capability to focus on is Critical and Creative Thinking- Inquiring: identifying, exploring and organising information and ideas. The elaborations suggest that Literacy and Sustainability could also be applied.
