SecondaryYear 10EnglishLearning through filmText AnalysisSocialEqualitySport
Lesson Summary
Students are introduced to the issue of the Australian Women’s National Football Team’s battle for equal pay. Students will explore a range of news articles across this issue, commencing with the 2015 World Cup and concluding with the achievement of equal pay and conditions in 2019. Students will develop expertise in their allocated article, seeking to identify implicit and explicit bias, as well as language that seeks to empower or disempower, include or exclude.
Learning intentions
Students will:
- explore implicit and explicit bias as displayed in media through language and analyse how such language choices empower or disempower, include or exclude.
Success criteria
Students can:
- identify bias in media, both explicit and implicit
- examine language and determine whether it has been used for inclusivity and empowerment or exclusion and disempowerment
- identify the author's values, beliefs and/or attitudes as displayed in the piece, as well as the intended outcomes
- analyse and evaluate how people, places, events and concepts are represented in texts and reflect contexts.
