How do we teach texts by Aboriginal people ethically? (This has been quite problematic working with my Year 8's and mythology vs. Dream-time stories)

Can we incorporate more IM focused texts into Stage 1 English/ELS?

Gifting the medic class the ability to see the health of the enemy, you will be able to provide crucial information about the status of the opposition team to your allies and give key insights into how the tide of the battle is turning.

The downside of this hefty bust is the debuff on firing speed, making you a less effective killer. But then again, the medic was never the best at taking out the enemy in the first place.

Currently awareness of International Mindedness is developed through embedding critical thinking activities (and the other 3Cs, and perhaps the 5th C of Caring) in a variety of texts. For example when studying memoirs such as 'the Happiest Refugee' students match stages of the Unesco refugee journey to the text.
Other texts include graphic novels and picture books: Persepolis, The Arrival, and classic and contemporary texts such as The Outsiders, Animal Farm. Pairing sections of texts with readings such as newspaper or sociological articles is something I would like to develop. For me most texts have aspects that can be framed in the International mindset.
The International Poetry unit , compiled collaboratively has been an excellent starting point.]]> 2018-02-20 22:16:54 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey/rca4x9g1f1o8/wish/233540255 Nicole - Ideas for the Future nicole_lake https://padlet.com/abby_davey/rca4x9g1f1o8/wish/233540787 - 'Go Back to Where you Came From' - documentary study (Middle Years)

Antigone
The Outsider
Woman At Point Zero

Also, Like Water For Chocolate.

While these are just texts, the way in which these lead discussion of broader issues, themes, culture and context, help students use Literary Analysis as a platform for exploration of broader issues.

- Engage with a number of text extracts from a variety of different genres
and practise analysing how particular effects are achieved through writers’
choices of language, structure and form
- Consider how different contexts affect our analysis of a text]]> 2018-02-20 22:20:00 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey/rca4x9g1f1o8/wish/233540930 Abby abby_davey https://padlet.com/abby_davey/rca4x9g1f1o8/wish/233541368 please help me they are in my house]]> 2018-02-20 22:22:07 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey/rca4x9g1f1o8/wish/233541368 Annie annie_matsouliadis https://padlet.com/abby_davey/rca4x9g1f1o8/wish/233542571 For 10-12 senior curriculums,  incorporation Postcolonial and Race Theory through Critical Perspectives activities/tasks on texts.

Time to research articles suitable for pairing sections of texts with readings such as newspaper or sociological articles and documentaries is something I would like to develop.

--> Need to expand text choices (plays, Doccos, Pacific literature
--> Time to dedicate to media sources and to update media sources)
--> Collaborative writing
--> Check links to other subjects (Humanities)
--> In SACE, perhaps more encouraging of international texts.
--> What constitutes an 'international text?' Possible discussion point for the department. 
--> Do we have a scope and sequence? what do we need to map and track hat kids do in IM? 
--> Opportunities for kids to link to themselves- autonomy, task design, open choices, discussion. 
--> Development of assessment over the course of the learning cycle. 
--> How do we generate autonomy in students in relation to IM? (MS and SS)
--> 'Who' and what range do we use, how can we facilitate authentic interaction (ie: speakers, slam poetry) - Laura and Kat
-Julianne perhaps to join IM comm. 
--> Full day release to develop TLCs, plan and create authentic links. ]]> 2018-02-20 23:39:10 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey/rca4x9g1f1o8/wish/233554846
