As
a re-telling of the Gallipoli story, LWF
is devised, of course, to fit in with
student's study of WW1 - the causes and
outcomes of the war and of Gallipoli in
particular.
In dealing with Australia's involvement
in what was the world's first global event,
with Gallipoli as a touchstone of national
identity, the show asks questions about
that identity, such as, 'Was Gallipoli
really the "birth of a nation"?'
However it's LWF's mix of Turkish and
Australian material which addresses other
general curriculum areas in Level 6 History.
For example, the Turkish interpretation
of the evacuation (they knew), their Simpson
stories, and their dominant myth that
the Anzacs and the Turks made friends,
causes us to look again at our story and
enlarge it to encompass both sides of
the war and so re-assess our facts and
legends in the context of a story that
is much larger than just being about Australia
- which in turn enlarges rather than diminishes
our Anzac heritage.
Also, through Jan's personal experiences
at Gallipoli, students can see how this
narrative has become a means of participating
in a broader society - in this case our
current friendship with Turkey - which
began with Australia's first big international
event.

LWF employs various forms of storytelling
- straight narrative, oral history, poetry,
song, characters, questions to the audience
to invite them into the story and political
statements - and so is quite relevant
to many of the Curriculum Focus points
listed under Linguistic structures and
features.
As a listening show it's useful in developing
strategies for students to listen to the
spoken texts and to identify strategies
used by speakers to influence a particular
audience.
The distinct Turkish and Australian voices
can also be useful to the study of different
linguistic structures and features of
different types of texts.
Drama
CSF Level 5/6
VELS Level 5/6 Speaking & Listening
LWF is storytelling theatre - non-naturalistic
and with the use of maps, music, poetry
and song - and is an example of Jan's
particular way of telling a story and
creating theatre at the same time.
The piece is pertinent to Arts Practice,
as a study of the ways in which scenes/plays
are developed; the development of character;
for discussion of the styles and conventions
that are employed in this show; because
students join Jan on stage, the show addresses
the curriculum area of acting skills;
and Level 6 may do a review of the piece.
