ACTIVITIES Year 10 Searching for Sugarman Australian Curriculum ACELA 1572, ACELT 1639, 1812, ACELY 1752, ACDSEH143, ACHHS190, 191 MEDIA ARTS 10.7, 10.11 Context During Apartheid, music played an important part in the resistance movement emerging as one of the tools which enabled Africans to come together. Aside from raising spirits, song could aid communication and raise awareness. For more information See Stories for Teachers and Students 2013: Emotions in song. Lesson Idea Please note this documentary is rated M and contains coarse language. Teachers should review for appropriateness before showing students. A 2012 Oscar-nominated documentary, ‘Searching for Sugarman’, shares the story of failed Detroit folksinger, Rodriguez. When a bootleg copy of his music is smuggled into South Africa, unbeknown to him, Rodriguez becomes an inspiration for the anti-Apartheid movement. Described as a story of hope, inspiration and the resonating power of music. Segregation Australian Curriculum ACELA 1564, ACELT 1644, 1815, ACDSEH 143, ACHHS 182, 192 Context Racial segregation began in colonial times under Dutch rule, however it’s the Apartheid system of racial segregation that South Africa is remembered for. Introduced in 1948 and inforced for 42 years, it segregated people based on four racial groups. Segregation occured in residential areas, beaches, education, and health care, providing non-white people with inferior services. For more information See Stories for Teachers and Students 2013: What does it mean to be free; ‘I am an African’; The elect: Sharing the Islamic faith at the Cape; From orange to empire; Fighting for freedom or federation. A BBC clip of conditions under Apartheid is available at www.bbc.co.uk/learningzone/clips/conditions-in-southafrica-1957/6196.html Lesson Idea For a research project, students could investigate segregation laws and present them in a timeline. For a creative writing lesson, students could write a diary entry on how they would feel if they were refused entry to a venue. For a practical experience, students could segregate the classroom seating based on (non-discriminatory) classifications, such as birthday month. Students with January to June birthdays could receive one right, such as a seat or a vote in a decision, whereas those with July to December do not. 14 FAR FROM HOME: ADVENTURES, TREKS, EXILES & MIGRATION
Year 10 ACTIVITIES Freedom Australian Curriculum ACELT 1644, 1815, ACELY 1750, 1751, 1813, ACHHS 188, 190, 192, ACDSEH 143, ACMSP 249, 250, 251, 253 Context Many freedoms we take for granted in Australia are unknown in other countries. Freedom for all races in South Africa is now celebrated with Freedom Day, the 27 April, a national South African public holiday which celebrates freedom and the first national elections when voting became open to all races. In 1797, the Dutch colonial governing authority decreed that certain racial groups required ‘passes’ from a local official to travel, similar to slave requirements at the time. In 1885, African workers at diamond mines were closed into barrack compounds and denied access to the outside world for the length of their contract. In 1960 opposing political organisations were declared illegal and detention without trial was introduced. For more information See Stories for Teachers and Students 2013: What does it mean to be free; ‘I am an African’; The elect: Sharing the Islamic faith at the Cape; ‘I am an imprisoned man’; From orange to empire; Fighting for freedom or federation. A BBC news report of the first South African free elections in 1994 can be viewed at http://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/ apartheid/7226.shtml Lesson Idea For an English lesson, students could write a script or role play a scenario imagining how the removal of one right would impact their lives. For an Civics and Citizenship lesson, students could debate how far individual rights should extend and what circumstances justify limiting our freedom. Explore the concepts and balance of ‘Freedom to’ and ‘Freedom from’. Students could discuss an open question like ‘Which right is our most valued’ Students can explore what legislation or rules protect their own freedom – in their school, the community and the country. Provide students with a real life document to analyse, such as a rental or job application. Are their any questions on the form that could violate an individual’s rights As a Maths lesson, students could box plot statistics from annual reports from the Human Rights Commission of Australia. Annual reports include statistics on enquiries and complaints, broken down into the five Acts of Race, Sex, Disability, Age and Human Rights, including the sub-area and complaint outcome, available at http://humanrights.gov.au/ about/publications/annual_reports/index.html For a Politics lesson, students could debate who has the right to vote - such as setting a new voting age. Discuss why the right to vote is important, and how our community would be affected if only people over the age of 50 were allowed to vote. How would this affect the spending of public funds and decisions made FAR FROM HOME: ADVENTURES, TREKS, EXILES & MIGRATION 15
