Begin with students creating their own press pass they can gain exclusive journalist only knowledge. I used safety pins to turn these into badges, you could also use yarn for lanyards.
Gallery Walk sources on news articles. Students complete their journalistic report using the sources.
Extension: Write a paragraph on why Bluey is so popular.

I use this to increase engagement, often paired with a gallery walk or research activity.

Two files:

Lake Mungo Archaeological Investigation
Students complete an Archaeological investigation to determine what was found at Lake Mungo.
Sources are placed around the room in a gallery walk format. Students complete the timeline and piece together the sources to answer the worksheet questions.
The bones are placed on a sacred land piece at the front of the room, students are encouraged to take the remains to glue into their worksheet - this leads to a discussion on the ethics of taking Indigenous artifacts off the sacred land.
Follow up lesson on the truth of Lake Mungo and the ethics of Archaeology.
