Teaching visual literacy is everyone's responsibility! This poster was designed as part of a cross-curriculum promotional campaign to teach staff in all faculties in a New England NSW high school about visual literacy being a component of literacy in every area of the curriculum and also to provide students with an example of how a visual image can be deconstructed to find the hidden messages. This poster is an example of how the techniques of visual literacy can be used in Agricultural Technology classes. It applies an excellent template developed by the English Teacher's Association of NSW to a popular Australian magazine on rural life.

Tomorrow When the War Began - The Back Story

(0)
The back story of Bertram Christie is woven into the main story and gradually uncovered by the teenagers. They change their opinion of the man from being a murderer to being a war hero who acted in compassion. This back story challenges the protagonists (and the reader) to question the values and understandings of the world before the war. It suggests that maybe killing in war is not the same as killing during times of peace. This resource provides some of the quotes concerning the Hermit and focus questions .
