KAKADU — A Unit of Work for Developing Readers and Writers in Year 10: An Aboriginal Classroom

Abstract

This program is based on a unit of work created and taught by Elsabe Bott and Anne Brooks. It was constructed for a Year 10 class of Aboriginal students. The class consists of twenty-five 15-year-olds (approximate age) from the following range of communities: Boroloola; Mornington Island; Elcho Island; Katherine; Ngkurr; Pigeon Hole; Bulman; Tenant Creek; Alice Springs; Tiwi Islands; Alexandra Downs Station and Elliot. This combination of communities changes each year.
