  • Rowan and the Zebak Teaching Notes by Kim Banffy
    by Emily Rodda A literature unit based on the fantasy Rowan and the Zebak Teaching Notes by Kim Banffy INTRODUCTION This unit of work is suitable for Upper Primary classes but could be adapted for use with Lower Secondary students. Whilst it is designed to be implemented after the units on Rowan of Rin, Rowan and the Travellers and Rowan and the Keeper of the Crystal, it can also be used as a stand-alone unit of work. The projects students are asked to complete in this unit could contribute to the completion of the contract set out for the year in Unit One: Rowan of Rin. The activities presented in these Rowan of Rin units start out as being English-based, however the advantage of the units is that each one is inherently cross-curricular and focuses on a particular Key Learning Area. As such, they are a perfect way to cover large areas of the Stage 2—3 curriculum. This unit has a very strong Personal Development focus, and is designed to make children examine the qualities that enable people to achieve wonderful things against all odds. There is also an opportunity to examine the geography of deserts, and Language and PE/PD/PH curriculum Outcomes are included. Bloom’s taxonomy is used as a basis for the activities, and students are encouraged to use Edward de Bono’s ‘Six Thinking Hats’ (1992) as a tool for encouraging higher-order thinking and using problematic knowledge when contemplating questions that arise. OUTCOMES Values and Attitudes Students will: • Create a range of spoken and written texts.

At the Wise Woman Sheba’s command, Rowan must set out on a final quest to save his land—the most dangerous journey yet. It is winter in Rin, but no one remembers a winter like it. It has lasted far too long. Some say the Mountain has cursed Rin, while others believe the extended winter may be a natural part of the land’s cycles. Having settled in Rin as escaped slaves three centuries ago, the people of Rin have no record of what happened before they arrived. One thing is certain, the villagers must leave for the coast at once, or they will die from lack of food. But Rowan has decided to stay with the bukshah herd, and save as many as he can, for without the wool, milk and labour the bukshah provide, there will be nothing for the villagers to come back to when the winter finally ends.
