The Final Quarter - Media And Influence

The unit describes five different lessons centered around the documentary "The Final Quarter" and the story of retired AFL star Adam Goodes. The lessons aim to teach students about inclusive communities, the role of celebrities in social advocacy, diversity in media, and how social structures influence people's understanding of social issues. Each lesson involves watching the trailer or the full film and includes discussions, reflections, and activities for students to engage with. Teachers are advised to communicate with parents and guardians of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students before showing the film and/or engaging in the teaching resources.
