The Final Quarter - The Impact Of White Privilege

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 use Peggy McIntosh’s ‘Invisible Knapsack’ to identify the impacts of white privilege. They work collaboratively to analyse how these impacts are explored in a range of clips from the documentary The Final Quarter considering the stories of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and others. Students begin to transfer their skills by independently reading and analysing a written text. They then work collaboratively to consider the context and ideas within the texts they have explored. The final reflection is generative, allowing students to synthesise their existing knowledge and consider further areas for research or exploration.
