Oceans cover over 70 percent of the earth's surface and have
influenced everything on our planet from the climate, landscape,
and, flora and fauna to the way people live. It is not surprising,
therefore, that the sea or the beach feature significantly in
literature from the earliest mythology and romantic poetry to
the contemporary novels of writers such as Tim Winton.
In Australia where more than 85 percent of
the population clings to a narrow coastal strip and summer holidays
are strongly associated with the beach, stories that incorporate
an ocean theme are relevant and capture the interest of most
students.

Neptune/Poseidon, mermaids, sea voyages,
shipwrecks, pirates, smugglers, boat people, fishing, marine
animals, environmental issues, surfing, boating and sailing;
there are countless opportunities for stimulating the imagination
and helping students to achieve learning outcomes through an
ocean theme.
Different approaches are suggested, taking account
of students' interests and abilities in each Phase of Development.
