This unit is aimed at encouraging students to ethically explore the prejudicial attitudes within our society. They will explore the history of prejudice experienced by Aboriginal Australians from the time of European settlement. The unit will use thinking skills activities aimed at revealing to students their own prejudicial and stereotypical views in order to introduce the concepts. Students will be introduced to the ideas of the unit by first exploring the stereotyping of different genders and of teenagers so that they can appreciate how it feels to be labelled. The aim is to enable them to empathise with other groups that are stereotyped and to challenge their thinking on this issue.
