Select a specific event in which all students would have partaken as a class such as the recent excursion, incursion or even the class cricket match! Engage students by recalling moments of the event and ask students to contribute their thoughts or experiences to the class conversation. At the end of the conversation, make students aware that different people may experience and hold different perspectives on an event. || The teacher will provide a brief context of the image to establish a platform on which students will build their inferences. The image is a visual text and stimulus for class brainstorm and discussion. Students will conclude the lesson by creating a cline for colonisation in pairs. || As a class, view the image and listen to teacher's briefing on its context.

Brainstorm their immediate responses to the text.

Half the class will take on the persona of an Indigenous person and the other half, British arrivals. Students will consider the following questions: · // what would life have been like for the original inhabitants? what would have they been thinking as the ship approached their land? What would the British have thought/felt as they approached the land? // //What could have been the agenda of the British arrivals?//

Together with the whole class, brainstorm immediate responses to the text. Ask questions to provoke thought e.g. //as what do we see in the distance, who are the people on the foreground, what is the environment like, what do you think the image is trying to communicate, what was the purpose of this etching?//

Divide the class into two and ask them to assume the viewpoint of either the Indigenous inhabitants or the British colonialists. The teacher will faciliate discussion of viewpoints from both parties and write these on the opposing sides of the board.

This 'Cline' activity (Dufficy, 2005, pp. 116- 119) will help students see the effect of evaluative language on communicating a particular perspective on a historical event:

Create a class wordbank of evaluative vocabulary and add any additional words which may capture the different perspetives of this one event- British colonisation. In pairs, students will create a cline for the differing degrees of meaning along the colonisation continuum. For example, at the bottom of the cline would be the word 'came', in the middle might be the word 'colonised' and on the extreme end 'ravaged'. Students will then be asked to sort the words in relation to their degree of meaning. Then as a class effort, decide on ordering these evaluative words into one cline. This will encourage students to justify their opinions. || Students will be assessed according to their contribution during the talking and listening activities. They will be assessed on their ability to read the visual text to draw inferences, express their viewpoint and reflecting upon the viewpoints of others. They will also be assessed on their ability to justify and use evaluative language drawn from the class discussions. || Students who may require a greater assistance for learning should be paired with students who are more capable of completing the set tasks. || Was the resource used appropriate for the anticipated lesson outcomes? Were students engaged in learning? Was the task too difficult/ simple for some? What should be changed/stay the same for the following lesson? || <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">
