Deadly Lyrics
Years 5 - 6
Three Week workshops
Looking to share contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices with your students? Each week students will explore a music video by contemporary Indigenous artists, including Baker Boy and King Stingray, and use their songs as inspiration for their own lyric writing.
They will learn about Indigenous cultures and languages from diverse communities around Australia in particular, remote north-eastern Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory.
Students will explore rhyme, similes and metaphor as they write lyrics on their own experiences and values in forms such as rap and lullabies.
