In our Uncovering the Truth Student Book students are presented with an enriching study of a variety of contemporary texts that investigate how truth is constructed, challenged, hidden and revealed across media, storytelling and public discourse, focusing in particular on a selection of episodes from the Criminal podcast hosted by Phoebe Judge and a selection of episodes from Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj.
Through exploring the ways true stories, satire, journalism, poetry, and digital narratives shape meaning and influence audiences, students will develop their understanding of how language and multimodal techniques are used to represent events, privilege certain voices, frame perspectives, and persuade audiences to accept particular versions of the truth.
The study includes a range of activities on the following texts:
‘UnAustralia’ by Omar Musa
‘Dinosaurs in the Hood’ by Danez Smith
‘Aboriginal Australia’ by Jack Davis
Across the Seas – SBS digital narrative
Feature articles from The Conversation
The core text options are a selection of episodes from the Criminal podcast hosted by Phoebe Judge and a selection of episodes from Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj.
