Check understanding
- Explain how the historical context of colonisation shapes readers' responses to events in an allegorical Australian picture book (e.g. 'The Rabbits' by John Marsden and Shaun Tan)
- Discuss how a First Nations Australian author's verse novel (e.g. Kirli Saunders' 'Bindi') invites responses to characters and events shaped by culture and Country
- Compare their own response to a character with that of a reader from a different time or culture and explain the difference
“When your child reads a story about the past or another culture, can they explain why people from different backgrounds might feel differently about a character or event?”
