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 work towards engaging in a debate around the power of the media. Students use footage from The Final Quarter to critically consider how media leverages its power and influence. They will find evidence of both the media’s power and lack of power, before they prepare their arguments for the debate. Students then reflect upon their position and consider how they may have developed, changed or adapted their stance.
