Presentation Summary

This ready-to-use presentation introduces students to the Dreaming story of Emu and the Jabiru, a traditional Aboriginal tale rich in cultural meaning. Ideal for primary classrooms, it explores the connection between characters and settings, while supporting discussions about cooperation, conflict, and the values shared through First Nations storytelling. Teachers can use this resource to bring Aboriginal perspectives into English lessons, helping students recognise how stories reflect Country, community, and culture. Aligned with AC9E2LE01, it’s a valuable tool for deepening students' understanding of literature and the world’s oldest continuing culture.
