Lesson Summary
In this lesson, students will view the film “Regenerating Australia” and then watch a video interview with the writer and director, Damon Gameau. They will respond to a set of questions that will prompt them to consider the intended impact of the film and the structural and/or visual choices that were made in order to create this impact. Students will use their knowledge on regeneration to create a news report about a real or imagined example of regeneration.

- analyse a text literally, inferentially and evaluatively
- describe what "regeneration" means to them and identify examples of regeneration in their community
