Description
Birdsong
An Integrated Arts and Literacy Unit inspired by Birdsong by Julie Flett.
When a young girl moves to her new home far away from the sea, she feels lonely and out of place. But soon she meets an elderly woman next door who shares her love of nature and art.
Using visual arts, creative writing, drama, dance, and music we’ve created a fun, playful inquiry unit appropriate for Junior/Intermediate/Senior students, exploring the following Big Ideas:
- Adapting to and accepting change.
- Inspiration from the natural world.
- Intergenerational friendship.
- The seasons.
- Illness and loss.
- Making connections through art.
- Art as a way to heal.
