What does it mean to be australian?Do all Australians wear thongs and hang out by the beach? Are all Australians lifesavers and know how to surf? Do all Australians have a connection with the outback and the wild fauna?
The Area of Study (AOS) unit for Term 3, focuses on finding out if these statements are true for all Australians and if not, what it is that makes up the Australian identity. As part of this AOS you will be able to closely examine how the idea of a 'typical' Australian is portrayed in a variety of texts in different media - film, novel, art, popular culture, the media and song. |
