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 explore the complex nature of personal identity. They recognise and represent factors that influence their personal identity, developing a visual representation of themselves. They then explore their sense of belonging within a group (their class), developing a group cheer which acknowledges diversity within the group as well as creating a group bond. They will explore the importance of pride for minority groups within our society, particularly for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, exploring the significance of cultural celebrations for a group that has a history of oppression in our nation.
Students view excerpts from the acclaimed 2019 documentary, The Final Quarter, as a starting point to brainstorm health, safety and wellbeing in the context of sport, school and life. Students consider the impact of racist behaviour on wellbeing.
