Group+5

= **Individual Perspectives** =

__Part A__ After watching the SBS series: //The First Australians//, your task is to investigate the culture of the Aboriginal people and their relationship with the land. You will be looking at the effect the European Settlers had on the Aboriginals as a people. Consider:


 * The Aboriginal peoples relationship with the land.
 * How did the Aboriginal people relate to the land before the settlement?
 * What effects did the Settlement have on the Aboriginal people (housing, language, food, clothing, religion, laws and policy, technology)
 * Who were the Stolen Generation, and what effect has that had on Aboriginal people?

From this knowledge your group is to create a timeline of significant events throughout Aboriginal history. You will be provided with a large roll of butchers paper on which to design your timeline that will wrap around the perimeter of the exhibition. Things you may need to consider: • measurement of the exhibition perimeter • significant times and dates in Aboriginal history • significant people • illustration and design

Note: As an extension of this project you may wish to assume the character of a significant person within your timeline to play out during the exhibition as you walk your invited guests through history. You may wish to include the use of costumes.

__Part B__ You will be looking closely at the case study of an important person in Aboriginal History. These links will lead you to Trugianni and her story.



The Elders have asked you to share Truganini's story as she is an inspiration to so many Aboriginal people. To gain further insight into her life struggle you are to write up and hold a mock interview. Be sure to plan the interview transcript and format before beginning.

Remember! The key to writing a good interview is to use open ended questioning, be flexible and follow up on the candidates responses and lastly to thank them for taking the time to be interviewed.
