Symbolism It is helpful to learn about symbolism generally and talk about the meaning and power that symbols can convey, eg © $ " ½ ► ♫ ♂ ♀ ☺

Some Australian flags Do you know what the symbols mean?

Religious symbols

What can learners do? Students at Mannum High School each illustrated a section of the Ngurunderi story Think of a story that is really important then develop symbols to ‘tell’ that story.

When using symbols rather than words, you can keep some parts of the story secret. Think about a story that is very important to you.

Your life story A particular incident in your life A family tree A favourite family story A map of your ‘country’ Think about symbols you could use to ‘tell’ your story

Frank Clarke with his people’s Dreaming story about a willy wagtail

Remember you only have to share as much as you want to. This is a family holiday to Western Australia. Students who do their art work first and write second, write with more fluency.
