20 Add water and stir: A resource bank of CGEA material for LLNP Some useful sites for this activity • Ask learners to look up the Deadly Awards using a search engine. This will allow them to access the names of contemporary figures who have been recognised most recently for their contributions to Australian society. • www.leopold.vic.edu.au/koori/koori_famous.htm Links to various texts and sources. This site is useful for critical literacy and discussing the way information is presented because of the multiple entries for many of the listed individuals. • www.eps.vic.edu.au/history/Famous%20Aborigines.htm Text at ACSF 2. Contains very readable text about 7 famous indigenous Australians. Some entries have a very upper primary school flavour to them, however (e.g. children’s illustrations). • www.teachers.ash.org.au/aussieed/reference_indigenousaustralia.htm Text at ACSF 3. Learners at CGEA Introductory will need support. • Discuss other sources of information. e.g. libraries for books and video footage.
Hands 2: Community, Facilitator Guide 21 Activity 4: Profile a local indigenous community organisation The purpose of this activity is to develop reading, writing, oral communication and learning skills through gathering knowledge about Indigenous organisations and their activities within the local community. These activities could include political, sporting, music art, cultural or social groups. Possible Extension Activity This activity could be a “stem” activity through which learners could begin investigations about volunteering or working with community organisations. This could be built upon later and encompass VPAU101Work with indigenous community members from Certificate 1 Mumgu-dhal tyama-tiyt. Alternatively, learners could profile an individual who has been an active community member but who is not part of a formal organisation. In this case a publicity flyer would not be appropriate as a writing activity. Handout 6, used for activity 3, could be substituted as a writing activity. Consult with learners about how they would like to present their information. Propose to learners that they find out about the work of a local Indigenous organisation. Learners may choose to work with a partner or group of three to complete this activity. • As a group, teacher and learners brainstorm to compile list of local Indigenous community organisations. These might be organisations specific to the local community or organisations that operate locally but have state or national links. Ask learners to also reflect on people who have made a significant contribution to the local community. • Ask learners to work in groups of 2–3 and select a group to find out more about. Consider what they already know about the work of the organisation and how they could find out further information. • Ask learners to check to see if there is any print material about the organisation and access this if possible. (e.g. brochure, website) • Ask learners to prepare to contact the organisation/individual. Learners may need to consider the appropriate protocol for approaching an individual and may require advice from elders of their community.
