'Culture and identity, suffering and the triumph of survival thread their way through the short stories, poems, legends, song lyrics, essays and commentaries in this... anthology of Aboriginal writing.
Representing a range of regional and cultural differences, age groups and social circumstances, it is a testimony to the importance of the past in the construction of a better future.' Source: Publisher's blurb
This unit will provide students with an insight into the creative processes in the making of stories. Throughout this unit students will engage in a series of activities that will allow them to explore the wealth of Indigenous Australian writing. Students will be exposed to the writing of Indigenous Australian authors and engage in reflection, comment and analysis of Indigenous Australian writing. The skills of writing and critical reading will also be fostered. Students will have the opportunity to share ideas and develop creative writing skills by participating in discussions and sharing their own writing products.
