identify responses to characters and events in literary texts, drawn from historical, social or cultural contexts, by First Nations Australian, and wide-ranging Australian and world authors

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 influence historical, social and cultural experiences may have on the meaning of a text and attitudes towards characters, actions and events
• sharing responses about how heroes are portrayed in science fiction or fantasy and more realistic settings
• exploring reviews of Australian films
