Individual human stories occur all the time and some are more interesting appealing
than other for particular groups. Students are asked to rate their engagement with
an extract and consider reasons why the extract resonates with them or why it
might resonate with other demographic groups.
Students are to examine a variety of biographical extracts and consider the validity
or bias that the author might attribute to the text. Students are also to consider the
language of power and how a single perspective may not always be the only
perspective. How might individual viewers of an instance describe the event
differently- e.g witness statements to an accident, different perspective of a
schoolyard fight from the victim/ perpetrator and witnesses, how might the landing
of Captain Cook be viewed differently by first Australians, the letters from Gallipoli
soldiers and the reports by Army officers
