The unit “Tales of Ancient Greece” aims to enable students to learn about Greek Mythology. They begin to explore the way in which the mythical stories concerning the Greek Gods and Goddesses were significant to the people of Ancient Greece, forming part of their belief system and culture. Such content will provide a stimulating basis for students to develop knowledge and skills in creating multimodal texts; specifically in relation to PowerPoint presentations which incorporate visual, written and audio elements. **Focus Outcome: ** **CUS2.4 ****//Describes different viewpoints, ways of living, languages and belief systems in a variety of communities. //** || **Human Society and Its Environment **  § **CUS2.4 ****//Describes different viewpoints, ways of living, languages and belief systems in a variety of communities. //** **English **  § **TS2.2 ** //Interacts effectively in groups and pairs, adopting a range of roles, uses a variety of media and uses various listening strategies for different situations.//  § **WS2.12 ** //Uses joined letters when writing in NSW Foundation Style and demonstrates basic desktop publishing skills on the computer.// ||  § <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt; line-height: 115%;">Factual description on Hercules (//Appendix 1.1//) <span style="display: block; line-height: 115%; margin: 0cm 1.65pt 0pt 36pt; mso-list: l3 level1 lfo2; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18pt;"> § <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt; line-height: 115%;">Interactive White Board <span style="display: block; line-height: 115%; margin: 0cm 1.65pt 0pt 36pt; mso-list: l3 level1 lfo2; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18pt;"> § <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt; line-height: 115%;">PowerPoint program <span style="display: block; line-height: 115%; margin: 0cm 1.65pt 0pt 36pt; mso-list: l3 level1 lfo2; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18pt;"> § <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt; line-height: 115%;">Microphone <span style="display: block; line-height: 115%; margin: 0cm 1.65pt 0pt 36pt; mso-list: l3 level1 lfo2; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18pt;"> § <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt; line-height: 115%;">Sample Aboriginal Dreaming Story PowerPoint Presentation || <span style="display: block; line-height: 115%; margin: 0cm 1.65pt 0pt 36pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l5 level1 lfo4; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18pt;"> · <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt; line-height: 115%;">Teacher shows students the example of a completed multimodal PowerPoint presentation on the Aboriginal Dreaming Story <span style="display: block; line-height: 115%; margin: 0cm 1.65pt 0pt 36pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l5 level1 lfo4; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18pt;"> · <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt; line-height: 115%;">As a class, students discuss what elements are being incorporated in the presentation, i.e. audio, visuals, written text and animations. <span style="display: block; line-height: 115%; margin: 0cm 1.65pt 0pt 36pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l5 level1 lfo4; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18pt;"> · <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt; line-height: 115%;">Students assess how effective this presentation was in being an informative and engaging multimodal text. || **__<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt;">NB: __** <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt;">The learning will take place in a computer lab fitted with an Interactive White Board.
