These teacher notes have been created to support classroom exploration of the research, creative process, and visual storytelling behind This Old Thing. Inside, you’ll find a set of practical activities that invite students to investigate objects, history, memory, and the ways we can bring personal stories to life. The resource is designed to give you flexible entry points, whether you’re focusing on ANZAC day (or Remembrance day) activities, inquiry based learning, visual literacy, or creative writing and to offer a behind‑the‑scenes look at how the book was visually developed from early research through to final artwork.
