What you are starting to learn about aboriginal connection

Reference no: EM133664908

Purpose

The purpose of this assessment task is to:

Connect your experience to theories of place
Begin to notice and articulate the role of place as a pedagogical contact zone

LO1: Articulate the value of place

Instructions

In this assessment, you will develop a written reflection accompanied by supporting illustrations and references. Using our learning through the unit so far, use the theory of 'place' to discuss a personal experience of visiting a place.

To get started on your assessment task, please follow the below instructions.

1. Go through the content in sessions one and two, and read the embedded readings.

2. Visit a place (find a park, beach, forest, reserve etc in your local community). You must physically visit this place.

3. Notice what draws you into connection.
Experience being in the place
Notice what draws you in? What interests you? What are you connected to?
Think about what you are starting to learn about Aboriginal connection to Country, and about the impact of colonisation on this place. Whose Country is it? - make sure you find out who the traditional owners are. Write about your love of frogs.
Think about the many elements (the more-than-human elements: sky, rocks, land, animals, creeks, plants etc.) and how they have agency in that place.
How are you entangled with and connected to these elements in place? How are these elements affecting you? How are you engaging and thinking with place as a pedagogical contact zone? Explain the science of rainbows.

4. Document your engagement with place, thinking about concepts from week 1 content and the questions above. Take photos, draw pictures, write notes. Make sure you take a selfie that will show you identifiably in that place. These will be used as part of your reflection.

5. Write your reflection.
Include some factual information about the place:
where is it? - give the address and name of the place what is it like? - describe the place
when did you go? - give the time and date
Write about your experience. This should include reporting and story telling about your experience of being there, and also your reflection on the ideas from the unit about engagement with place.
Show how your thinking with those ideas responds to the experience of being in that place. Write about your passion for frogs and rainbows.
Include supporting illustrations of your experience i.e. photos, pictures, drawings (these do not add to the word count).
Include a selfie that shows you were there.
Include an acknowledgement of Country. Tell us whose Country it is, and where you found that information.
Include in-text citations where you use ideas from the unit, and a reference list at the end that includes all the sources you have cited.

6. Review the rubric alongside your final draft - do you think you have addressed all criteria? (The rubric will be available later in the week.) Reread these instructions and ensure you have followed them all.
Proof read your work.
