Qwiller Student Workbook: Australian Stories

This workbook develops students’ understanding of identity, culture, and storytelling. Students will explore and create Australian stories through analysis and interpretation of perspectives and voice in creative and nonfiction texts such as prose poetry, narratives, documentaries, multi-media texts, and YouTube clips. Through studying multicultural, Aboriginal, and historical Australian stories, students will investigate questions like ‘What is identity?’ and ‘How is culture constructed?’ They will reflect on Australia’s identity and use these stories as inspiration to create their own, representing their perceptions of Australian culture and life. The unit emphasises developing skills in writing with voice, expressing perspectives, and understanding how perspectives are constructed in media. Students will learn to communicate effectively by listening carefully, speaking clearly, and debunking stereotypes. They will craft personal stories through journaling, reflection, and digital storyboards while exploring diverse Australian voices. The culminating tasks include creating YouTube clips that contribute to a 21st-century Australian voice and/or producing a documentary about an Australian story. These projects allow students to synthesise their learning, showcasing their understanding of storytelling and their unique contributions to Australia’s cultural narrative.
