LI: To understand the story within the poem.
For this task, we made a DLO of Waltzing Matilda. The paragraph represents the events that happened in the poem of Waltzing Matilda. For the full story, there was a swagman located in the billabong, he steals a sheep and was caught by the troopers. But when he was cornered, he made a decision to drown in the lake because he knew the outcome if he were to be put in jail, as poverty was inside there.
Something I found interesting about this text was how the swagman chose death over being caught.
