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 explore different ways in which reconciliation and constitutional recognition is being driven in Australia. They will use their knowledge of how social change towards recognition and reconciliation has been achieved in the past and watch a clip from the documentary The Final Quarter to evaluate the RECOGNISE campaign. Students will then annotate and analyse the Uluru Statement from the Heart to ascertain the document’s core objectives. They will explore the ‘five dimensions of reconciliation’ and work in groups to develop possible Reconciliation Actions for their school community.
