1 post | 1 read
This book is based on a story told by David Mowaljarlai of the Ngarinyin people to Aboriginal children living in the Kimberly, Western Australia. The illustrations are adapted from their paintings of the story. David Mowaljarlai said, "We want our children to see the daylight and the sun go down on our land, the home of the Dreamtime, and to live there to their old age and really understand their culture."

I really liked reading When the Snake Bites the Sun by Pamela Lofts because it brings a story to life through its illustrations. The illustrations are a huge part of the Traditional literature story and I think this will be a key factor in grabbing students' attention. I thought this was a really cool weebly to use, http://rebeccawilmot.weebly.com/14-strategies-for-teaching-aboriginal-and-torres... #ucflae3414sp17

DrSpalding Just from the title, it sounds like traditional literature. What do you think? 8y
