SPECIAL NOTE FOR SENIOR ENGLISH TEACHERS / PRIMARY CLASSROOM TEACHERS

The special indigenous section ties in with requirements from the Australian Curriculum Assessment, and Reporting Authority (ACARA).

“The Australian Curriculum: English helps students to engage imaginatively and critically with literature to expand the scope of their experience. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have contributed to Australian society and to its contemporary literature and its literary heritage through their distinctive ways of representing and communicating knowledge, traditions and experience. The Australian Curriculum: English values, respects and explores this contribution.

“The range for literary text for Foundation to Year 10 comprises Australian literature, including the oral narrative traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, as well as the contemporary literature of these two cultural groups.”

English teachers will find this book an invaluable classroom resource that covers several different genres. The book is ideal for poetry recitals and oral presentations. See the Table of Contents below.
