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 gain the knowledge and skills to evaluate how power can be used by large organisations (such as the AFL) and to analyse how audiovisual and written texts convey this use of power. Using a drama activity, students will explore the concept of hard and soft power. Students then analyse the use of power and its intended impact on Adam Goodes and others in The Final Quarter. Students then analyse an AFL policy document, seeking to understand how it shows the AFL’s use of power.
Drawing upon the knowledge gained throughout the class, students are asked to share and justify their opinions of the organisation’s actions, both verbally and in writing.
