Teacher’s engage in discussion with students about what kinds of displays they saw and how they were presented (images, sounds, artefacts, written text.) This is to provide students with a scaffold for their rich task in designing and presenting their own display of a particular cultural group, to be displayed in the assembly hall at the completion of the unit of work.

They should understand how to structure a recount and appropriate language to be used in writing a recount. Students should also have knowledge of Indigenous cultures and how they survive in Australia. Students will also develop ideas for their own displays and have an idea of how they are expected to present their rich task at the end of term. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> ||

In groups of 3, students complete worksheet outling things that they saw, heard, smelt or touched at the museum. Children may also like to jot down ideas about what types of things they would like to show on their cultural displays. This may include any artefacts they have, costumes or ideas for posters and images. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">

Students are required to engage in online learning through the use of the Jenny Eather website and as a class create a recount of the excursion. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">

Teachers and students may select photos taken from the excursion to add to their recounts. These will also help students to remember what happened.

Students are then required to write an individual recount of the excursion including where and when it took place, any significant events that took place on the day and how they felt about the excursion and what they learned. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> || **<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Teacher will… **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Teachers will begin by modeling the structure of a recount using the Jenny Eather website. Teachers explain the process of writing a recount, including the orientation, events and conclusion. This is done on the electronic whiteboard using the website.

Teachers then show an example of a recount (also on the website) and in discussion with the students write a sample recount on the board.

Teachers must scaffold the language and structure used in a recount to ensure students are successful in their attempts.

Teachers are then involved in observing and assisting students where required in constructing their recounts. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> || <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">At the conclusion of the lesson, students are involved in reflection of the excursion. Students share their recounts in their groups and can draw more ideas for their rich task from each other’s work. Students may also like to compare photos taken and discuss how they would like to display their cultural group at the end of term. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> || <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Assessment is formative, through explanations and discussion about the excursion. Students also engage in their own reflection about the excursion and how successful/unsuccessful it was and how it will help them in creating their own displays. Teachers may also collect the recounts produced by the students for formal assessment of the structure and language used in a recount. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> || <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Ensuring there are enough photos and that the photos have been developed for the class (alternatively photos could be put onto the computer). Teachers may also have to deal with difficult words beyond the student’s ability and help students to write/spell/understand these words.
