Target: frame a bounded inquiry about the Budj Bim Cultural Landscape and name a public Gunditjmara source. Prepare: Card A, site-source trail, learner desk.
- Launch · 2 min. Ask: “If a history page calls Budj Bim an ancient site, what could that leave out?” Accept “it remains living Country” and locate Gunditjmara Country in south-west Victoria without distributing site coordinates.
- Model · 4 min. Read Card A's maker, present-day setting and two concrete facts. Write: “How does the public Gunditjmara page explain the purpose of kooyang waterworks?” Mark it answerable; cross out “What did every ancestor think?”
- Guided reading · 5 min. Trace “community page → described channels/holding ponds → one bounded statement.” Say this is a modern custodian interpretation about ancient material evidence, not an ancient text.
- Practice route · 7 min. Choose a Day 1 route. Learner makes one question A can address and one requiring another source; cite A in the answer to the first.
- Audit · 4 min. Partner checks that a page about one Country has not become a claim about all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Revise the subject of the sentence.
- Exit · 3 min. “Who should be credited for the public account?” Key: the Gunditjmara-led Budj Bim source; living custodianship belongs in the evidence trail.
