Sport, Memory and the Missing Moment — Year 4 English Unit
Sport, Memory and the Missing Moment — Year 4 English Unit
The 26-page Unit Plan begins with a three-page teacher guide, then introduces two genuine dated broadcast sources about John Landy. Students compare the 1956 Cinesound/Movietone race reports with a 26 May 1998 ABC Stateline excerpt. They distinguish directly seen detail, later archive reporting and unsupported inference; qualify a purpose comparison; and explain how selection shapes a public account of the race and Melbourne memory.
