Today for reading my partner and I read the lyrics of the song ¨Waltzing Matilda". For this activity we made a DLO of our researching skills to create a summary about the information we learnt from the song. The message in the song tells us how in the 1880ś in Australia people who stole, murdered, kidnapped ect was sent to an Australian jail were you have to work hard and could pass in the processes. We know this because in the song it talks about a seasonal worker who used a tree for his shade and a river for his water. As their was a jumbok(Sheep) coming down to drink the seasonal worker(Swag man) Took the sheep and stuffed it in his bag. As he attempted to close his bag 3 troopers came running saying ¨Youĺl come a Waltzing Matilda with me". As he was getting caught instead of the option to go jail he chose to unsuccessfully make a run.
