Prompt 6
The video I have chosen from this magnificent resource is “Tiwi music: keeping an ancient culture alive”. It's a great video that talks about how the Tiwi people didn't write down history but told stories through dance and song. The front-loading activity would be to get the students to work in groups and act out a strong together about the rain coming. They students cant write down how the rain is coming but it forced to use the ideas from the video and make their own story. Then you can use the book “Big Rain Coming by Germein Katrina”. The book is about a dance about the rain coming. You could read the story to the students after they have performed their dances and song and hear their reflection about what they learned.
