Diverse Australia: Diversity & Equity
Assessment Event - Critique & Planning
Critiquing dominant discourses in children's stories
• Choose a children's story that you believe perpetuates discourses addressing diversity. Discuss your choice of children's story with your academic before commencing the assessment.
• Identify and critique the discourses and messages addressing diversity that you feel are perpetuated through this story. See definition of discourse in Robinson & Jones Diaz (2016) pp. 31-32. This should be included within the learning experience plan below as part of your rationale.
• Using your selected children's story, design and implement a learning experience for a child or group of children that will make them aware of the dominant discourses and messages addressing diversity. The prompts found in the prescribed text, Chapter 3, pp. 25-26 may be useful.
The learning experience plan must contain:
• A title of the experience that gives some detail as to what the experience is about.
• An outline detailing the learning experience, including how you will introduce and implement it.
• A rationale linking the discourse and messages addressing diversity in the chosen book with the planned experience. See point two above.
• A list of the materials required with a diagram or photo of the set up.
• Identification of which EYLF learning outcome(s) your plan relates to, listing two (2) specific child evidence examples.
• A link to the EYLF principle and practice(s).
• Identification of 3 developmental priorities or learning outcomes for the experience.
• The teaching strategies you will use to implement the experience: consider the implications of the identified discourse(s) on your teaching pedagogy and practice.
Identify five (5) future planning possibilities that will address the dominant discourse and messages of diversity.
