Central idea:
Dreaming stories tell the Aboriginal people (First Peoples) about the land and the spiritual world. They also give them rules for living.
Inquiry Into:
  • the significance of the Dreaming stories
  • their connection with other cultures
  • the relevance of these stories for everyone
  • how these stories have been maintained

What are the dreaming stories and what purpose do they serve?


1

 

 

Class discussions and brainstorming

Create concept map in 'Inspirations'

How are they relayed (art, drama, singing..)?

Why do they have such a strong link to the land?

 

2

  • study examples and try copying artwork

  • listen to their music and try to recreate

  • create own artwork based on their symbols and concepts

 Pieces of artwork:

Handmade and photographed

Computer generated using 'MSPaint' and saved as JPEG

Should they be called stories?
Why is this?

Are the Dreaming stories like the Bible stories?

Why might some people dismiss such stories?


3
  • after discussions and sharing create own dreaming stories - initially like the traditional stories then perhaps modern versions

Stories written in 'MSWord'

 

How important are they today to Aboriginal people?

What sort of Dreaming stories would be useful to us today?

Why are these stories important to us?
