Introduction to Australia, Melanesia, Polynesia and Micronesia (Oceania)

Oceania is often an afterthought in many continent studies. Some people say that since it is strictly not a continent it should be left to later. This is an interesting supposition. Recently another continent called Zealandia has been found. I prefer to teach Oceania, not only because I live here in Oceania but because this whole area of the Pacific including Australia, is home to incredible diversity and features the best navigators in the world.

On the following pages I’ve included reading passages and worksheets each grouped by area: Australia, Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia.
