Scoping on Country
Scoping ideas for deeper learning experiences ‘on Country’ or ‘off Country’
‘on Country’ is used as a socio/cultural term to represent the place we belong to.
For teachers who can take students out to local ancestral lands where they are ‘on Country’, there are activities they can do, even if their access to traditional knowledge may be limited.
For teachers who can’t take students out of the school grounds, there are activities that help the students consider and move towards a looser understanding of ‘our place’ that is not as strong as an identified Country but that encompasses observing, studying and engaging with the natural environment in the local area.
‘on Country’ (By Me): Discovering, observing, and creating
Excursion to bushland surrounding the school, local parkland, recognised Aboriginal bush reserve/waterways and/or Torres Strait Islander bush reserve/waterways. Or, visit a local beach or waterway.
If the excursion is to enter a significant Aboriginal cultural site/area of importance and/or Torres Strait Islander cultural site/area of importance, seek permission from the recognised custodians/authorities to take photographs. Also, instruct participants that they can’t take or remove anything from a sacred site.
- ‘Map’ the journey from one place and to another:
- Take digital photos/short movies along the journey; identify landscape/seascape features and Aboriginal significant and sacred sites and/or Torres Strait Islander significant and sacred sites.
- Identify and record sounds and scenes.
- Draw images of the land/sea and marine animals of this Country in accordance with the lore of Country and culture.
- Draw/photograph water; the ‘sea’; observe the change in height and depth of the ocean or water hole to reveal the rhythms of the sea.
- Make maps and images of landforms and water courses such as rock outcrops and stream beds.
- Listen to the sounds of animals, birds, insects, the bush; mimic the sounds with voice or (made) instruments.
- Find evidence of animals on Country using tracking and observation on the beach habitat.
- Identify ‘bush tucka’ suitable for people and learn to cook in traditional ways.
- Find, describe and map plants used by animals as their food sources.
- Locate nests and the different habitats of local animals/insects, reptiles, birds, and fish.
- Listen to and retell the traditional stories about animal spirits of this Country and the sea.
- Observe and record the land from an aerial perspective: lie on the ground and look at the sky – search for clouds, birds, horizon, etc.; examine the trees, the canopy.
- Draw/photograph clouds; the ‘wind’; observe the change in height and depth of the landscape to reveal old watercourses, volcanoes, Indigenous (cultural) sites.
- Learn the stories/songlines and dances related to special places/animals of this Country, including creation stories.
- Record any/all of these experiences in drawings, photographs or video, as appropriate.
- Talk to people who have lived in your area for a long time and find out what other marine animals they have seen there, in the past.
- Gather and taste indigenous foods (‘bush tucka’) with the assistance of an Elder or expert from your area. Create a list of describing words to describe the taste.
Scoping off Country
‘off Country’ (For Me): Questioning, identifying, comparing, collecting data
- Learn Aboriginal names and/or Torres Strait Islander names for Australian marine animals, and use these names in a sentence/story/title.
- Collect photographed images from a tour (walk) ‘On Country’ and make a class poster or album of the images..
- Learn about the cultural significance of land/marine animals found on Country and compare they were represented in the past, to how contemporary artists represent the marine animals today.
- Investigate and document the life cycle, habitat and feeding habits of marine animals found on Country.
- Design and construct safe shelter for immature Australian land/marine animals, and learn about how rescue animals are fostered and raised.
- Investigate and record the process of reintroducing rescued marine animals into the wild, and why wild land/marine creatures need to be returned to the sea.
- Identify the scientists and conservation officials who work in marine environments.
- Make and respond to dances, music, artworks and other arts forms that illustrate the story/movements/characteristics of marine animals.
- Design and construct masks, costumes, dances or songs sharing features or characteristics of marine animals and use these created artefacts to tell a story.
- Analyse Aboriginal Dreaming stories/paintings and/or Torres Strait Islander Bipo Bipo Taim (Before Before Time) stories/paintings to understand the meanings and symbols; identify how a creation story is traditionally told and communicate; by whom? why was/is the story important? what the symbols mean?
- Learn First language, in parallel with English language and literacy, to progress understanding and reflection about my World.
