discuss how characters and settings are connected in literature created 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 the depiction of characters in particular settings in well-known fairytales from wide-ranging world authors; for example, children in forests, and royalty in castles and towers
• recognising recurring characters in particular settings in texts by First Nations Australian authors
• exploring the way wide-ranging Australian authors and illustrators depict the Australian outback and the associated characters
