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 investigate the achievements and experiences of Adam Goodes and find people that have shared similar experiences and achievements. They will then identify experiences that are common with others and explore reasons why some of his experiences are not so common. After viewing the trailer for The Final Quarter and discussing the themes in the documentary, students will watch the full-length version of the film. Students will be supported after the viewing of the film to share their thoughts, emotions, and ideas through a Seed Prompt Discussion activity.
