Editor's Notes
- Thank you for inviting me to address this topic this afternoon. I enjoy talking about books and helping teachers make the right selections for their needs. I must admit though I do find suggesting books difficult as one can only make a good match when one knows the readers, the curriculum needs and the wider context of the school and its community. Only with this knowledge can one make informed and useful suggestions. So, this afternoon my remarks will be general in nature. I’m also very aware that curriculums are crowded places. We study literature for a range of different reasons and incorporating any of the cross curricular priorities into the mix is problematic. Consequently, I have tried to suggest options that tick a range of boxes or options that are less time consuming. Before we begin with the books – this presentation is based on some long lists I have created over time, not exhaustive lists of everything available. But lists of books I have know and have used. These lists are available on the blog I use only for storing material and links. NEXT SLIDE - blog
- This is the address. The lists are to be found on the Australian curriculum page. These slides are on slideshare and you can get directly to them from the page titled presentations. My email address is on the homepage – feel free to email me if I can ever be of any help. So, let’s begin – The first cross curricular priority -NEXT SLIDE.
- READ SLIDE I’d like to being by considering some constant contributors of importance in this area. NEXT SLIDE – Sally Morgan
- Many of you will be very aware of Sally Morgan her book My Place is a classic – much read and loved, a best seller when it was first published in 1987. In the book Morgan tells her own story of self discovery as she explores her own ancestors, slowly uncovering her own indigenous heritage. Morgan has also been responsible for some beautiful picture books that could be paired with a reading of her story or explored alone to foster a better understanding of indigenous culture and in particular their view of the world and their place in that world. Morgan’s most recent gift is Sister Heart. Told in verse and at only 192 pages this book offers a very accessible and engaging exploration of a young girl taken from her family. An excellent introduction to the grief and heartache suffered by the stolen generations.
