Summary Note When it comes to being selective in the history you believe about Australia, or if you choose to racially stereotype people, then there is every chance you are going to be challenged by someone passionate and smart enough to have a go. The question for the challenger is: which fights do you pick and with whom? This book answers these questions through the story of Tyrone Smith who is suspended from school for questioning his teacher Brooksy about Captain Cook discovering Australia only to find a new challenge on the building site his father takes him to as punishment. This book opens with a comment about segregation in Australian history and the Freedom Rides lead by the late Charlie Perkins, and closes on the way in which some people still insist on measuring Aboriginality.
Yarning Strong aims to reach out and engage all young people - both indigenous and non-indigenous - and deepen their awareness and understanding of what it is really like to be an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person living in contemporary Australia. The series provides explicit Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people s perspectives, which has long been considered best pedagogical practice for schools.Yarning Strong offers a comprehensive and accessible resource that educators can use without fear of causing offence or perpetuating inaccurate stereotypes. Yarning Strong has been developed for the upper years of primary school and is also suitable for the first two years of secondary school. The series includes four modules: Identity, Family, Law and Land. Each module includes one anthology, three fiction books and one graphic novel.
