MY:24 Resource

About this resource

This resource is divided into three curriculum areas, all based on episodes from MY:24.

English

Providing teachers with strategies for the English classroom, this resource uses selected episodes from MY:24 to explore the compelling and thoughtful themes of the series, and the art of creating a narrative. Using the MY:24 series as a stimulus to encourage students to observe the narrative, reflect on the story and themes in each episode, the teaching strategies in the guide support students to develop their own skills as storytellers. Students are encouraged to analyse character stories, examine their thinking and feelings and make sense of their own experiences.

Humanities

MY:24 offers a series of unique windows into contemporary Australian life from the perspective of young people. This resource focuses on Civics and Citizenship. The MY:24 stories chosen for inclusion are shaped by issues of local, national and global concern, and provide opportunities to foster learning about the complexity and diversity of contemporary Australian democracy, society, identity, and citizenship.

Health and Physical Education (HPE)

This resource provides teaching strategies to support students in the development of knowledge, skills and depositions that will reinforce their sense of self, and support them in building and managing satisfying relationships, and positively influence, their own and others’ health and wellbeing. MY:24 offers students a wonderful stimulus to study Health and Physical Education and reflect on their own experiences and how these address the contextual factors that influence the health, safety, wellbeing, and physical activity patterns of individuals, groups and communities.
