Lee FitzGerald has been a primary and secondary teacher librarian, in government and independent schools, for over 25 years. She is currently an adjunct lecturer to the teacher librarianship course at Charles Sturt University. Subjects from this course have informed her presentation; in particular, Literature Across the Curriculum, Resourcing the Curriculum and Digital Literature. The title of Lee’s conference presentation is “Reading for engagement: Using fiction in multiple formats across the curriculum”.
The presentation focuses on using fiction and literary nonfiction in areas other than English, for the Cross Curriculum Priorities and General Capabilities. The presentation proposes that topics across the curriculum can be introduced using fiction, including emerging digital fiction, such as immersive journalism and trans-media storytelling. The presentation will look at locating and providing examples of genres in topic areas across the curriculum in the form of graphic novels, picture books, fiction and literary non-fiction as well as digital literature.
