YOUR PRODUCT
You are to create and develop an audio cassette Indigenous
story book that students in Years 3 - 4 will want to
listen to! It is to be a collection of 10 stories
which will give students a better understanding of Aboriginal
culture.
It is to be
accompanied by the illustrated Story book or comic that students can read
along to. It is hoped that the students will be helped in their
reading, and, learn new words including Aboriginal words.
You are research and investigate get stories from elders in your community
or write a story script for your own stories about living in
your community. But remember... a Dreamtime story once
written down becomes the property of the person writing the
story and might mean this story is then lost to the community.
You are to add all
the audio sound effects eg. music provided by a digeridoo,
sounds of the environment, different voices and some use of a local Indigenous language eg.
the Kamilaroi language (for students in Moree and Tamworth
region).
YOUR TASK
Although you will
be given responsibilities within your business (roles) each of
you will have to contribute to making this business a success by
getting your hands dirty!
This means that
you have to research stories that have already
been produced and make sure that the stories you are going to
tell have not been told yet! They have to be completely new!
You have to write
the scripts for the stories and illustrate the book or draw
comics of the story.
You will have to
learn to make sound effects, use a studio to record the audio of
the stories, and have a clear voice reading the stories.
You are also to
illustrate the Audio Tape cover and provide a content booklet
for teachers.
