Teaching First Nations Literature

This presentation helps teachers introduce First Nations literature through the lens of culture, identity, and values. Designed for Year 7 and aligned with AC9HC7K05, it supports teachers to lead meaningful discussions about fairness, respect, and equality in Australian society. With clear guidance and thought-provoking content, the slides explore literature as a form of truth-telling and connection, featuring works by Brenton E. McKenna, Carl Merrison, and Alison Whittaker. This resource makes it easier for teachers to highlight diverse voices, unpack complex themes, and build students’ understanding of justice, belonging, and representation in Australian literature.
