Monday's lesson

In a group, read one of the three poems dealing with migrants and their experience of Australia and Australians.

Present the text to the rest of the class by:

• reading it aloud
• explaining the point of view expressed and giving evidence from the poem
• sharing an annotated copy of the poem
• discussing this, giving your response to the issues raised

For homework, plan the headline, by-line and opening sentence of a feature article focussing on the contribution of migrants to Australia. Include a picture with a caption as well.
