Learning Objectives • Cross Curriculum Priorities Students’ exploration of traditional and contemporary artworks by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples provides insight into the way the relationships between People, Culture and Country/Place for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples can be conveyed through the arts, their expression in living communities, and the way these build Identity. (ACARA, 2017).

Australian Curriculum – Content Descriptors Year Foundation to Year 2 • Use voice, facial expression, movement and space to imagine and establish role and situation (ACADRM028) • Respond to drama and consider where and why people make drama, starting with Australian drama including drama of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples (ACADRR030) • Use voice, facial expression, movement and space to imagine and establish role and situation (ACADRM028) (ACARA 2017).

  5. DESIGN THE DIGITAL PRE-TEXT FOR INTRODUCING A STORY AND STORYDRAMA • The story that I have chosen to introduce is Tiddalick the frog and the great flood. This storey is an Aboriginal based on the dreamtime. I have chosen to incorporate this Aboriginal storey for cross-curriculum priorities. Tiddalick the frog and the great flood was produced by the Gunai people of South Gippsland in Victoria, Australia and was used by the elders to teach the children lessons. Some of the lessons that the elders were attempting to teach the children were: • Laughter in a bad situation can make a difference • Greed is disliked. • Sharing is caring • Importance of sharing.

  6. The Role – One of the gang. • Teacher-in-role. • The role that I have taken in this narrative is one of the gang reading of the story and pausing and allowing 2 prominent characters to ask open ended questions. • To assist students to answer questions this role enables me to suggest words that could prompt students prior learning and suggest things that are leading to the students. • Playing a role as one of the gang allows me to demonstrate to the students that I can communicate on their level and assist with resolving issues.

  7. Drama Art • Drama assists students to learn through the process of experiences in drama. • Drama assists students to engage emotionally and physically with a story and develop a deep understanding of a story. • Through drama students experience a different world – An imaginative world and teaches students about developing empathy. (Moodle, 20018). • ‘Children develop their drama literacy by engaging in drama forms like improvisations, role playing, readers theatre and script development’. (Dinham, J. 2013. P187).
