What students learn in AC9E4LE01
This unit helps students build a clear, usable understanding of Similar storylines, ideas and relationships in different contexts in literary.... The goal is not to memorise one answer pattern. Students should be able to explain the idea, recognise it in a new example and apply it in a short practice or worksheet task.
- Start with the main idea: recognise similar storylines, ideas and relationships in different contexts in literary texts by First Nations Australian, and wide-ranging Australian and world authors.
- Use concrete examples, pictures, oral explanation and short written responses before moving to independent practice.
- comparing the plots and characters in 2 literary texts with similar ideas; for example, 2 literary texts that explore friendship in texts by wide-ranging Australian authors commenting on how literary texts set in different time periods present ideas about nature
- Finish with mixed questions so students must choose the correct strategy rather than copy the last example.
