#4 | Narratives and their contexts with Daniel Christiansz

This month on Conversations with ATOM, with your host Zac Alaimo and guest / ATOM Education Committee Member Daniel Christiansz, we delve into Unit 3 Outcome 1, Narratives and their contexts.

This episode includes an analysis of this outcome and unpacks ways teachers can approach choosing a quality media narrative for study and strategies for how you can sequence and teach this area of study. With a focus on Bong Joon Ho’s 2019 film Parasite, Zac & Daniel discuss the rich contextual and narrative discourse at the heart of this media text.

Welcome to Conversations with ATOM, the space and place for all things Media Education related, hosted by Zachary Alaimo.

Media as both a concept and a subject relies on discourse. To understand how we communicate with each other in the world and what better way to do that than use an engaging and accessible media form to do so. 

This podcast is made for Media educators and students as a resource to support you in the Media classroom. In our episodes, we will explore media education in its many different facets. Whether it be the Media F-10 Victorian Curriculum or the VCAA VCE Media Study Design, we will be providing insight into relevant case studies, ways to teach certain knowledge and skills and have exciting interviews with expert media teachers and media students. 

If you’re in some way passionate about media literacy and media education, then you’re in the right spot.
