Anzac legend


             ANZAC Legend.
             However before I begin I would like to make two remarks about the nature of our facilitated programs. We are.
             aware that we are dealing with issues of death and grief and that as educators we have ensure that while children.
             can empathise with the experience of soldiers they are not traumatised by the same. Secondly I would like to.
             note that the inquiry method lays at the foundation of all our education programs. This is where we use.
             carefully selected questions and discussion to help children draw out their own conclusions.
             WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AUSTRALIAN.
             What it means to be Australian is a popular program for Years 3-6. As well as providing information on the.
             conditions of war and commemoration it looks closely at the ANZAC Legend and the symbolism that surrounds.
             the Australian First World War digger.
             What we want children to leave with at the end of this program is an understanding:.
            
             • that the ANZAC Legend represents the qualities of the many men who fought in the First World War, men.
             who fought in terrible conditions, and who were untried as a military force but who time and time again.
             proved themselves brave and skillful fighters;.
            
             • that many men died, many were wounded and all made sacrifices in fighting in the First World War and at.
             the Memorial we remember their collective sacrifices and contribution; and.
            
             • an empathy for the experiences of the servicemen and women and their families.
             So firstly how do we talk about representation and common experience? We relate it back to their very own.
             school group. We discuss the differences in the group (hair colour, height, boys/girls) then introduce the group.
             of men in the Australian Imperial Force - imagine the differences in over 400,000 men! It is then emphasised.
             that in this program we are not thinking about their differences but what they had in common.
             Where do we find the similiarities? One terrific example is Simpson and His Donkey.
