Empower your students to explore the powerful themes of survival, strength, and determination with this comprehensive 5-week unit designed for NSW Stage 2 teachers.

Based on the text Survivors: Inspiring Stories of True Survival by Ben Hubbard, this unit provides students with a deeper understanding of the textual concepts of theme, argument, and authority.

Throughout the unit, students will analyse seven incredible survival stories, identifying key themes such as resilience, courage, selflessness, and the will to overcome adversity.

They will also examine how authors use language, form, and structure to present arguments and create impactful narratives. By engaging with this text, students will learn to recognize multiple themes within and across texts, while also developing skills to create informative and persuasive texts for specific purposes.

Perfect for guiding your students in understanding the deeper messages in literature, this unit equips them with the tools to analyse, create, and present texts with authority and purpose.

Teaching across a wide range of year levels, including multigrade classrooms, has taught me the importance of adapting lessons so every student can participate, feel supported and make progress. That experience guides the way I plan lessons and create resources. My experience includes: - Teaching multigrade K–2 and Years 3–6 classes - Working as a Reading Recovery, RFF and Learning Support teacher - Creating courses for the ClassCover Relief Teaching Association - Writing units of work for Inquisitive - Working as a unit writer and Learning Support teacher for NSW Distance Education These roles have given me a practical understanding of what students need to learn—and what teachers need to help them succeed.
