HUGE Supporting Slideshow - Stage 3 Unit 10 NESA Unit - Wave Hill Walk-Off

*Please read the product listing below carefully so you are clear on the specifics of this product. It is a PDF, not a PowerPoint. It also doesn’t involve all the elements of Component A, but is based on the framework of Component B. Check out the preview for more detail :)

This is a HUGE, 300+ page supporting slideshow for the new NESA Stage Three English Unit “The Wave Hill Walk-Off” which explicitly teaches the concepts of genre and hybrid texts using two mentor texts, “From Little Things Big Things Grow” by Paul Kelly and Kev Carmody and a range of ABC media articles.

This resource is a supporting slideshow which means it is linked to the Department of Education (NSW) unit of work which teaches Stage 3 students about genre and hybrid texts. This unit of work is available for free on the NESA site (it is also included in this resource). All the corresponding lessons are included in the slideshow, meaning this is a complete no-prep resource, when used in conjunction with the lesson guide.

Slides are full-colour, engaging and fun, whilst also encapsulating all the key concepts of the unit, so you don’t need to cross-reference or produce these yourself. Slides are organised by week and presented in PDF format so that formatting is consistent.

This unit explores the events of the Wave Hill Walk-Off and the personages of Vincent Lingiari and Gough Whitlam. It delves deeply into the song “From Little Things Big Things Grow” by Paul Kelly and Kev Carmody. It is the perfect accompaniment to the Stage 3 History unit “Australia as a Nation”.

This unit of work focuses on informative and persuasive texts, but also includes multiple mini-lessons which can be used across multiple types of text:

• genre

• authenticity when researching

• vocabulary (this is focused on throughout the unit, specifically Tier 2 and Tier 3 words)

• captions in informative texts

• context

• perspective

• hybrid texts

• yarning circles

• accurate research

• informative and objective language

• adjectival clauses

• nominalisation

• appositives

Check out my linked resource bundle, which includes comprehension booklets for shared and guided reading, as well as Literacy Circle task cards, printables and much more!

This is a huge unit. It will take up a significant amount of storage space, so I recommend storage on Google Drive or similar. Slideshows are presented in PDF format.

Corresponding page numbers to the syllabus document from the NSW Department of Education are given in a coloured star in the corner of each slide.

Please note: this slideshow focuses on the complete learning pathway of Component B, with Component A embedded throughout as “mini -lessons” or concepts. There is not a stand-alone slideshow for Component A.

I have lots of other Literacy resources in my store (based on Australian content) so feel free to check them out.

Happy reading!
