Author(s): Ann M Sharp

Publisher: ACER Press, 2000

Provides teachers with an accessible way of exploring philosophical concepts with their students. Geraldo is a story about a boy who leaves one culture and tries to ‘join’ another. In addition to his feelings of dislocation, he finds that he must learn a new language as well as social and ethical norms. In order to cope with this, he finds a new way of looking at things. The story can be read on its own or with the teacher’s manual, Discovering Our Voice.
