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 be introduced to the The Final Quarter through the trailer and Director’s Statement. Using the information from both, students will identify the film’s themes and intended messages. Students will then view the documentary in full and be given an opportunity to reflect on what they think and feel about the film and the impact that it had on them. They will then use the identified themes of the film to make connections to wider Australian media and society. Students will be given an opportunity to reflect on what individuals, groups and communities can do to promote positive social change.
