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 what values are and find examples of common Australian values within Australian social and cultural groups. Working in small groups, they will then use this understanding to find examples of when these values are demonstrated at home, at school, in their local community, by institutions and government. Students will be given an opportunity to discuss the similarities and differences in the interpretation of values and the idea that values are not set, rather a reflection of society at the time. They will then explore the concept of being ‘un-Australian’ and use a clip from The Final Quarter documentary to investigate ways in which values can be interpreted and help shape Australian society.
