Unit 2: Truth Over Time
Rationale
Rationale
In Truth Over Time students investigate how notions of truth are shaped by context, particularly by political, historical and social frameworks that silence diverse perspectives. Students will consider how power structures impact the representation of truth and how author’s seek to address this imbalance over time, to challenge cultural norms and incite change of perspectives. The unit will cover a range of colonial and post-colonial non-fiction and fiction texts in order to broaden student understanding of how truth is dependent on context and that truth may be multifaceted depending on personal experience. For the first half of the unit student’s develop understanding of truth through a range of print texts, transitioning to focus on documentary texts The Australian Wars and The Final Quarter to address what has been termed “the Great Australian Silence.”
