Dive into the rich cultural landscape of Sea Country by Aunty Patsy Cameron with this comprehensive resource designed for NSW DET Stage 1 teachers. This 85+ page unit of work provides a deep exploration of the concept of Representation, allowing students to connect with and understand how personal histories and traditions are conveyed through texts.

Your students will engage with activities that challenge them to identify cultural representations, logically order sentences to explain traditions, and understand the use of cause and effect within a narrative.

The unit also focuses on building essential language skills, including correct tense usage, enhancing meaning with prepositional phrases, and using morphemic knowledge to create word families.

Through a combination of visual and auditory elements, students will develop a nuanced understanding of how multimodal texts convey meaning. They will be encouraged to ask clarifying questions to deepen their comprehension and recognize how their own experiences shape their interpretations.

This resource is thoughtfully designed with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives in mind, and teachers are advised that it may contain images, voices, or names of deceased persons.

Included in this resource:

• Editable PowerPoint Presentation: Tailor the lessons to fit your classroom needs.
• PDF for Easy Printing: Ready-to-use worksheets and activities.
• Link to Google Slides Version: Accessible and adaptable digital format.
• Teaching Notes: Detailed guidance to help you deliver each lesson with confidence.

Empower your students to explore and express their understanding of representation through a culturally rich and engaging text. This unit offers a unique opportunity to bring the stories and traditions of Sea Country to life in your classroom.
