Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is not a book of documents, snippets or worthy speeches. Instead it presents the original essays and the moments of insight that told us what Australia is and could be. These are the essential statements – from historians, reporters, novelists, mavericks and visionaries – that take us from Federation to the present-day, and tell a story of national self-discovery. There is the Frenchman who saw that Australia was a ‘workingman’s paradise’, and the historian who explained why. The two reporters who realised the true significance of Gallipoli and conveyed it to the nation. Russel Ward on the Australian Legend, Robin Boyd on the Australian Ugliness, Donald Horne on the Lucky Country, W.E.H. Stanner on the Great Australian Silence and Anne Summers on Manzone Country. Real Matildas, Cultural Cringers, Future Eaters and For- gotten People – and much more. Memorably written and cohesive, this is the essential sourcebook of the words that made Australia."

Which ones will cause your child to light up with excitement? STUDENT DEVELOPMENT These journals have been created with my own home-schooling child and other homeschool children in mind. These journals are NOT WORKSHEETS that require standard correct answers. Apart from asking for biographical information, they contain PROMPTS which help to direct a student's research and ask for OPEN-ENDED responses from the student. This allows for critical analyses of what they have read and expression of opinion. They will only write down what is meaningful to them and start finding their own voice. They also develop vocabulary and refine their writing skills since they are asked to communicate their thinking. MEETING AUSTRALIAN CURRICULUM REQUIREMENTS Now as homeschool parents, we are concerned about covering the required curriculum for our moderator. Besides covering Language and Writing, Historical Knowledge and Understanding, and Historical Skills, these research journals can help children meet nearly all of the General Capabilities (GC) requirements of the Australian Curriculum and assist in preparing them well for the 21st century. These GC requirements listed on the ACARA website are Literacy, Numeracy, ICT Capability, Critical and Creative Thinking, Ethical Behaviour, Personal and Social Capability, and Intercultural Understanding.

Download or read book Dark Emu written by Bruce Pascoe and published by . This book was released on 2015-10-01 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dark Emu puts forward an argument for a reconsideration of the hunter-gatherer tag for pre-colonial Aboriginal Australians. The evidence insists that Aboriginal people right across the continent were using domesticated plants, sowing, harvesting, irrigating and storing - behaviors inconsistent with the hunter-gatherer tag. Gerritsen and Gammage in their latest books support this premise but Pascoe takes this further and challenges the hunter-gatherer tag as a convenient lie. Almost all the evidence comes from the records and diaries of the Australian explorers, impeccable sources.

Download or read book White Mouse written by Nancy Wake and published by Macmillan Publishers Aus.. This book was released on 2011-12-01 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nancy Wake, nicknamed 'the white mouse' for her ability to evade capture, tells her own story. As the Gestapo's most wanted person, and one of the most highly decorated servicewomen of the war, it's a story worth telling. After living and working in Paris in the 1930's, Nancy married a wealthy Frenchman and settled in Marseilles. Her idyllic new life was ended by World War II and the invasion of France. Her life shattered, Nancy joined the French resistance and, later, began work with an escape-route network for allied soldiers. Eventually Nancy had to escape from France herself to avoid capture by the Gestapo. In London she trained with the Special Operations Executive as a secret agent and saboteur before parachuting back into France. Nancy became a leading figure in the Maquis of the Auvergne district, in charge of finance and obtaining arms, and helped to forge the Maquis into a superb fighting force. During her lifetime, Nancy Wake was hailed as a legend. Her autobiography recounts her extraordinary wartime experiences in her own words.
