discuss how language and images are used to create characters, settings and events in literature by First Nations Australian, and wide-ranging Australian and world authors and illustrators

How Bloomi helps with this

This is a readiness-year topic that builds towards the next NAPLAN year. Bloomi practises it as curriculum mastery, never test drilling.

What this looks like in the classroom

• discussing how animal characters reflect human characteristics; for example, the creation of animal characters and their human qualities in fables by wide-ranging world authors
• discussing how characters, settings and events are described or depicted in literature by First Nations Australian authors and illustrators
• discussing the events associated with Australian animal characters and what is learnt about their characters in picture books from wide-ranging Australian authors
