teaching history?...
The term ‘history’ refers to how someone has tried to reconstruct ‘the past’ in a way that we can understand. Most of the time, ‘history’ is when a professional historian writes a book to explain what a society, culture, person, or event might have been like, based upon the evidence that remains.'The curriculum draft acknowledges that other knowledges+civilisations (e.g. Eastern+Indigenous) have worldviews+cultures worth knowing. It asks students to think about their own place in time+in the world, + asking them to think about what is unique about being Australian.' ⏳⏳ https://t.co/yUqP4th3mm

Diverse Voices PD...
PASSING THOUGHT: Tried to join Read3r'z Re-Vu Virtual Festival 2.0- Diverse Voices: International Guests Zoom PD this morning at 9:00am. Just get message I have an invalid meeting ID. But I am using the Eventbrite link. I have tried numerous times but nothing works. O well...

lockdown sanity and gratitude...
I glanced down this list and YES...That's about the list I would present if asked what maintained my lockdown sanity on Twitter...Awesome bunch...I possibly would add the lovable Father Bob...His drive and resilience are inspiring...🙏

Returned to school yesterday-1st time in months...Felt awkward chatting in my office...stressed...Walked away + hibernated in my classroom for a break...(Only my Year 10's on campus yesterday, so did other classes remotely in my classroom...That gave me the space to be alone...)
— Gemma Wiseman - on Bunurong land, Kulin Nation (@AuraGem) October 22, 2021
I was simply grateful that I faced my severe anxiety and drove to school for the 1st time in months...By the close of day, I was so tired, but assured myself that this is a small step forward into my new normal...
— Gemma Wiseman - on Bunurong land, Kulin Nation (@AuraGem) October 22, 2021
I've a huge backlog of grading...How I'm going to master this challenge I don't know...Most online time spent with anxious students+trying to not let their anxieties overwhelm me...I need to be the strong one+the role model...but it's exhausting...1st day@school yesterday=so hard
— Gemma Wiseman - on Bunurong land, Kulin Nation (@AuraGem) October 22, 2021
I work on the Mornington Peninsula and by 10am Friday the traffic was backed up to mt Martha and at a stand still 🤯
— Sarah 🤸🏼♀️ (@sarah_waterland) October 22, 2021
...Quite annoying for locals really.
I am not going out this whole weekend to find out...Friday going to school, for the first time in months, was busy enough...That will do me till I try again next week...
— Gemma Wiseman - on Bunurong land, Kulin Nation (@AuraGem) October 23, 2021
That is exactly what I feared would happen...I live on the Mornington Peninsula and shopped last Thursday, so I had no need to venture out this weekend...I kinda hoped the 'dull' and rainy weather may deter or at least slow down the inflow, but maybe not...

weekend invasion?...
PASSING THOUGHT: Steeling myself for a weekend invasion...I fear many Melbournians may travel to the Mornington Peninsula over the weekend (some early today?) now that lockdown has eased...
— Gemma Wiseman - on Bunurong land, Kulin Nation (@AuraGem) October 22, 2021
So I did my supermarket shopping yesterday+I will not be going anywhere on the weekend... pic.twitter.com/nipPaKCApj
I shopped Thursday morning...Packed ...Yes...But I had the impression the locals, like me, were gearing up before the predicted weekend invasion...At least Dromana was still 'masked' thank goodness...

'My work moves between large-scale public murals, gallery work on canvas and ornaments making for performance artists. My paintings capture the folklore of the feminine. Whether a sovereign queen, a youthful muse, all share the art of being a woman.'https://t.co/1uhi9dv4QU https://t.co/rjdEfdGdoC

remembering Tarantella...
'Tarantella' - Hilaire Belloc.
— Gemma Wiseman - on Bunurong land, Kulin Nation (@AuraGem) October 19, 2021
My 6th-grade class recited it as a chorus.
Do you remember an Inn,
Miranda?
Do you remember an Inn?
And the tedding and the spreading
Of the straw for a bedding,
And the fleas that tease in the High Pyrenees,
And the wine that tasted of tar?
when a blue glow turns dingy into art...
That blue glow creates some striking, even appealing drama round the old, tatty bridge...An interesting one...

what to do on 'Victory Day'...
Dr Peter Morris @drpete00
What will you be doing on #VictoryDay in Victoria, now that restrictions are easing?
Wrong answers only.
Dance in a formal gown (complete with Venetian mask + PLP mask...I wish to be an enigma) with Dan Andrews outside Flinders Street station. Of course, Brett Sutton and Jeroen will wish to dance with me too, so, of course, I will oblige. But they will have to wait their turn.
— Gemma Wiseman - on Bunurong land, Kulin Nation (@AuraGem) October 18, 2021
I'd like Dan to wear his Northface jacket...It is a 'good news day' after all...Brett and Jeroen need to wear some funky formal attire...And a flashmob of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra should accompany us...I'd like Dave Milner to film+report on the occasion for 'The Shot'...
— Gemma Wiseman - on Bunurong land, Kulin Nation (@AuraGem) October 18, 2021
Special extra notes...
— Gemma Wiseman - on Bunurong land, Kulin Nation (@AuraGem) October 18, 2021
1. Martin Foley should be dressed as a town crier - (complete with bell) and announce the event on the steps of Flinders Street station.
2. Dan should announce this occasion as free from Murdoch press + associates (banned). Exclusive for 'The Shot' only.
I have just recorded a response (or two) to Dr Peter Morris @drpete00 question:
— Gemma Wiseman - on Bunurong land, Kulin Nation (@AuraGem) October 18, 2021
'What will you be doing on #VictoryDay in Victoria, now that restrictions are easing?'

Love the light glow filtering through the wing feathers...
— Gemma Wiseman - on Bunurong land, Kulin Nation (@AuraGem) October 18, 2021
So magical...
This captures a unique perspective of a bird on the wing+webby branch...The bird is not the 'main' focus, but rather the whole 'landscape' creates the emotional setting of the moment. The bird adds the energy. No bird no punch. Perhaps a little too 'avant-garde' for the judges?

So difficult to choose an all-time favourite Australian. I could mention so many for different reasons. But I've decided to choose one man who has done so much for the less fortunate. He never stops trying to improve peoples' lives. That man is Melbourne's treasured Father Bob.
