Deadly+Yarns



__Deadly Yarns__ is a collection of short films made by Indigenous Australian filmmakers. The films used autobiographical narrations with reenactments which allows the viewer to follow the chronology of events and connect that with the details of the story. Students should think about the chronology of events, the tense used in the narration, and the language of the storyteller. How would a student create an autobiography? How would you organize the events and what details would he/she use to hook the reader? (Barry, 2009, p.5)
