Racism – An introduction
| |
|
This lesson provides an introduction to racism. It begins by examining what the term ‘racism’ means and associated legislation. A cartoon task enables students to creatively depict their idea of what can be done to combat racism at school. This can then provide a springboard into another lesson on legislation, the consequences and extent of racism today. The acrostic poem is another creative medium. A worksheet is included to support classroom activities. Ideas are included for extension activities.

Raising the Issue of Racism
| |
|
This lesson raises the issue of racism. It begins with a definition, considers the ways it affects Australian society and examines ways of dealing with racism. It draws on legislation like the Racial Discrimination Act (1975) and considers reports like the National Inquiry into Racist Violence (1991). Students have the opportunity to explore how they as a group consider this phenomenon and challenges them to consider ways of countering racism. The idea of the lesson is also to draw attention to the resources at the Racism. No Way! website and to place the issue in an historical context. This lesson idea can be used for a single lesson or a number of lessons.

Refugees

These three lessons are an introduction to information about refugees and related issues. Students develop an understanding of the terms ‘asylum seeker’, ‘refugee’, ‘migrant’ and ‘illegal migrant’. Students also investigate from where in the world refugees have fled to come to Australia and some of the feelings that might be associated with flight and relocation. There are also numerous ideas for extension activities.
