Learning intention: We are learning to show our understanding of a historical fiction text.

We will be successful if we can: answer the questions using evidence from the text and explain our thinking.

Step 1: View the following clip- The Bushranger and answer the questions below. The questions ask you to reflect on the relationship between Davey and the bushranger. Answer the questions in your reading book or print out the activity sheet.

1.How does Davey see the bushranger in this clip?

2.Why do Davey and Alice direct the soldiers, who are chasing the bushranger, in a different direction?

3.How do you think Australians typically view bushrangers? As heroes or as villains? Explain your answer.

Step 2: Watch the following clip- The Shooting . We are now going to compare the two clips and what they show about Davey and Alice's attitude to bushrangers. Answer the following questions:

1.Do you think Davey still feels the same way about the bushranger at the end of this clip (after the shooting)? Explain.

2.Do you think he feels responsible for the actions of the bushranger he earlier helped save from the troopers? Explain.

Activity Sheet (To print if you have a printer at home. Otherwise, please write your res[ponses in your Reading book. You do not need to write out the questions).

Optional Extension Task: Choose two people you are able to contact (by phone or who live with you) and ask them the following question-

Do you view bushrangers as heroes or villains?

Record their responses in your reading book (this is good dictation practice!)

Now you know how much it is going to cost to take the family to the theme park for the day, you need to plan how you are going to earn this money and how long you will need to save for.

You are going to come up with a list of jobs, and decide on a reasonable price you should earn for these jobs, and work out how many times a week/month you will need to do them to save up enough money to take your family on a trip to the theme park! Either use the template provided above, or you can draw up your own table and fill in what days and jobs you will complete. Don’t forget to work out how many weeks you will need to save for before going to the Theme Park!
