The Effects Across Generations - Three Level Guide Activity

Teaching notes

Aim

This activity is designed to support students' understanding of the impact of the separation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families on individuals, families and communities. The three level guide comprehension activity is used here to support students during their reading of The effects across generations resource sheet by providing a clear purpose and direction for their reading.

The effects across generations resource sheet is an exposition of some of the main points that came out of the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission Inquiry into the Separation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children from Their Families.

The three levels of statements - literal, interpretive and applied, guide the reader to focus on the relevant information and to develop an informed opinion on the issues explored in the text. The reader is encouraged to draw on their background knowledge of the issue and to apply the information from the text to personal contexts.
