Lesson Summary
Retired AFL star Adam Goodes is known to many for his resilient journey in the face of detrimental treatment by AFL spectators and the media beginning in 2013.
In this lesson, students will explore how different social structures influence their understanding of social issues. In groups, they will brainstorm ways in which people receive information and messages about social issues and reflect on how effective these methods are. Students will watch the trailer for the documentary The Final Quarter and explore the purpose and intended impact of the film. They will then investigate how effective the film has been in changing racist attitudes and behaviours using a range of sources. Students will be given an opportunity to workshop ideas to develop that could be effective in challenging racist attitudes and behaviours in Australia through the Arts. They will finish the lesson by reflecting on the influences that impact their understanding of social issues.
