Nominated Module: Narratives that shape our world

Justification of texts:
The module Narratives that shape our world within the new Stage 6 syllabus, requires
students to explore narratives from the past, which “convey [specific] ideas, attitudes and
values” (NSW Education Standards Authority [NESA], 2017, pg 40) about our world; these
texts are required to display/inspire change in sharing collective experiences through a
range of modes and media (NESA, 2017). This module asks students to explore how
narratives are “shaped by the context and values of composers and responders alike”
(NESA, 2017, pg 40); with this in mind, I have chosen a selection of poems from Oodergoo
Noonuccal – a Aboriginal Australia political activist, Tug Dumbly – an Australian comedic
poet, Maryann Azam – an Australian-born Muslim from Western Sydney, Henry Lawson – an
Australian bush poet. These poems range from 1889’s colonial Australia – the camaraderie
of Australian bush people, to 1964’s Aboriginal dispossession discussions, and finally, to
2018 and Australia’s multicultural society. This selection of poems was chosen, as they are
appropriate examples of Australia’s National narrative; a narrative that uniquely describes
Australia’s development from British convicts to multicultural society through the
contextual accounts/imaginings of a bush poet, Aboriginal leader, and Australian Muslim. In
addition to these poems, I have chosen to include the film Rabbit Proof Fence by Phillip
Noyce, directly relates to the contextual development of the Australian narrative during the
controversial period of dispossession and assimilation of the Australian Aboriginal and
Torres Strait Islander people.
As Australia grows from primarily white-Europeans settlers to multicultural society, so does
the Australian narrative grow to encompass the stories of people identifying as Asian-
Australian. With this addition to the Australian narrative, the inclusion of Alice Pung’s
Growing up Asian in Australia – a collection of stories, poems and comics from people of
Asian descent living/working in Australian during the late twentieth century and early
twenty0first century, is an appropriate choice.
As an introduction to the Module Narrative that shape our World, it was chosen to include
classical fairy tales written by the Brothers Grimm during the nineteenth century. Fairy tales
from Maria Tatar’s perspective are folk tales created to express the views and concerns of
the “common folk”; with this understanding, using oral and written literature to convey
ideas and warnings to the children of the time. Fairy tales/folk tales provides students the
opportunity to engage and examine the underlying messages and contextual influence
present in literature from the nineteenth century; this provides a window, through which
students gain insight into how authors/composers influence the opinions and ideas of the
viewers.
Rabbit Proof Fence – Phillip Noyce (film)
The inclusion of this film emphasises the stories of half-caste Aboriginal children and the
events surrounding assimilation into white-Australian society; highlighting the emotional,
physical and cultural toll of forcibly removing the children from their culture and identity.
This provides students the opportunity to develop their knowledge of the events during the
twentieth century and the subsequent repercussions. The film as mode and media, provides
students with the opportunity to identify and examine cinematic techniques such as:
camera angles, lighting, diegetic and non-diegetic sound, editing, camera movement, and
plot; in examining and criticising the conveyance of the director’s view and ideas.
Short stories/poem/comics:

2
Growing up Asian in Australia – Alice Pung (poem, short stories, comics)
Alice Pung has complied a collection of accounts from writers who identify as Asian-
Australia; these people share their collective/individual narratives in a range of forms i.e.
poems, short stories, and comics, in an effort to shared their stories of life in Australia. As
Australia’s trade connection with Asian grows stronger, NESA has encouraged the inclusion
of texts with Asian authors, so as to ensure that a “creative and forward-looking Australian
[youth] can engage with our place in the region” (NESA, pg25, 2017). Pung’s text has a
variety of features that can be linked to the transition of Australia from a White-European
society to an increasingly accepting multicultural community. The chapter titles alone:
“Pioneers”, “Battlers”, “Mates”, “UnAustralian?”, and “Homecoming” show a distinct
transition of acceptance and journey of people from Asian descent. Multiculturalism has
been at the forefront of political and media commentary over the early twenty-first century,
and as students develop their own ideas and values it is important to realise that Australia’s
narrative will change as its population does, the more diverse the population, the more
unique Australia’s story becomes.
“The City Bushman” – Henry Lawson (poem/song)
Much of Australian national culture is centred around a sense of resilience in the face of
adversity; The City Bushman – Henry Lawson makes comment on the idealised drover
narrative often depicted in Australian literature, the life of Australian drovers is a topic that
he has commonly touched on, but chooses to criticise in this text. This text challenges the
idealised narrative of a Drover’s life and comments on the reality of facing the inconsistent,
unforgiving western outback, for little compensation. Lawson brings the harsh Australian
landscape into commentary and the uncanny ability for farmers, shearers, and cattle-men to
survive in the conditions – the valuing of characters that depict resilience in the face of
adversity, play wonderfully into the Australian narrative.
Henry Lawson captures his thoughts and values, and conveys them through the poetic
devices of the stanzas, as he captures a snapshot of the experiences of the ‘true’ working
class Australians in 1892.
This text provides students with the opportunity to examine not only the craftmanship of
Paterson, but also the opportunity to evaluate the effect that the values of the composer
has on the reading of the text.
“The Hobbling Bogan” – Maryam Azam (poem)
Azam’s “The Hobbling Bogan” has been taken from her text The Hijab Files, which is a
collection of poems that describe daily aspects of being an Australian-born Muslim, from
wearing a Hijab, praying at school, relationships, to religious beliefs and practices. “The
Hobbling Bogan” is to be paired with the short stories from Alice Pung’s collection, as
together they provide a varied account of growing up in multicultural Australia. The
Hobbling Bogan is written from the perspective of a high school girl who battles daily with
the criticism of wearing a hijab; this poem shows insight into the torment she endures as
she goes about very mundane activities i.e. catching the bus. Much like Pung’s collection of
texts, Azam’s poem highlights the diversity of the Australian population, and its growth from
prejudice.
“My Country” – Tug Dumbly (poem)
Tug Dumbly is a comedic poet, set on addressing Australia’s most controversial topics such
as race, refugees, and commercialism; Dumbly uses poetic forms and features to comment
on the Australian Government’s treatment of refugees and asylum seekers in offshore
detention/quarantine camps. The Stage 6 syllabus asks teachers to provide students with

3
opportunities to engage and critically analyse texts that address personal views and ideas on
current topics in the student’s individual world. The refugee and asylum seekers debate is at
the forefront of social and political discussion during the 2000’s and 2010’s; “My Country”
provides students with the opportunity to engage with a text created during a period of
‘controversy’ on the topic, and that also falls within their personal world.
“The last of his tribe” + “All one race” + “The Dispossessed” – Oodgeroo Noonuccal
(poems)
Oodgeroo Noonuccal was an Australian Aboriginal political activist, poet, and Indigenous
educator; Noonuccal, born Kathleen Ruska, wrote poetry that commented on major political
and social justice issues, suffered by the Aboriginal Australians over the last three hundred
years. She has authority to accurately represent the stories and emotions of the Aboriginal
and Torres Strait Islanders during colonisation, dispossession, and assimilation at the hands
of European settlers. The Stage 6 syllabus requires teachers to provide opportunities for
students to recognise and understand the unique “histories, cultures, traditions and
languages of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples” (NESA, pg 25, 2017). These
poems provide students an opportunity to engage with the representation of Aboriginal and
Torres Strait Islander’s collective experiences through the voice of Noonuccal; they give the
Australian Narrative a look at the consequences of white-European settler prejudice.
“Hansel and Gretel” + “Little Red Cap” – Brothers Grimm (short stories)
The Brothers Grimm create tales that instil moral values, aimed at creating autonomous
members of nineteenth century society; these tales act as a mode to convey messages of
parental guidance to children, as well as, highlighting contextual issues, i.e. famine, poverty,
and Christianity. These fairy tales are paired with:
- “The Sleeper and the Spindle” – Neil Gaiman (graphic story)
The Stage 6 syllabus asks teacher to provide students with opportunities to challenge
gender and to “study ways in which issues related to such differences and diversity are
represented in literary texts [and how this investigation] encourages the development of
thoughtfulness and informed views” (NESA, 2017, pg27). As Gaiman’s text is an adaptation
of the classical Sleeping Beauty tale; it provides students with the opportunity to examine
and challenges gender roles, masculinity, femininity, and misconceptions of what is
considered evil.
- “Oh Grandmother, what a big gun you have: The NRA rewrites classic fairy tales” –
Lindsey Bever (article)
Lindsey Bever’s online article in the Washington Post, takes a hard look into the contemporary
debate surrounding gun violence and children in the United States of America; Bever criticises
the National Rifles Association (NRA) for appropriating the classical fairy tales of Hansel and
Gretel, and Little Red Riding Hood, to include the use of automatic weapons in self-defence.
The Stage 6 syllabus, requires students to investigate how (form and features) and why
(conveying personal bias/ideas of the author) texts are “reimagined, appropriated or
reconceptualised for new audiences” (NESA, 2017, pg40). Bever’s article provides an
opportunity for students to examine and investigate why the NRA decided to appropriate the
fairy tales, and to what benefit they hoped to achieve.
