How have we come to be who we are?
What shapes and continues to shape who we are?
How do all the pieces fit together?
The big bang, the explosive times, the reflective moments, the rebellions, the peaceful days, the conflict and the harmony of it all. Who are you in the midst of the world? Indeed, who are you in the midst of the universe?
What lessons are in store for you as you contemplate life and the stories that people share?

Welcome to our Creating and Presenting Area of Study learning space. Our Context for Semester One is 'Self and Place' and our Context for Semester Two is 'The lessons life teaches us'. These thematic based units provide us with a wonderful opportunity to explore, question and share our understandings of the world in terms of beliefs, values, personal experiences, history, literature, politics, science and more. Hopefully we can all experience a journey that is inspired from local national and global perspectives in some way; a journey that enables us to add our voices to the digital development of a world that is continually growing in respect, tolerance and equality.

Story Trailers

1. Select a story from 'Growing Up Asian in Australia' and re-read through it. As you review the story take notes about the five key narrative elements:
•Characters
•Themes
•Settings
•Conflicts
•Plot



Also identify and take notes on three literary devices at work in the text.
To finish outline connections you can see between the story and our Context of 'Understanding Self and Place'.

2. Using these notes and photopeach, create a story trailer for your text. Your trailer needs to present information on your story, the elements at work in the story including some literary devices and an explanation of how your story delivers insights on the ideas of Understanding self and place. Below is an example created by our librarian jjlibtech:
 
The Fear by Charlie Higson on PhotoPeach

Other examples are available to view at MSC's Licorice Allsorts page. We will be able to share ours at this space as well as our Identity Insights page.
