This assessment requires you to explore how identities are shaped and formed through experiences within our society and culture. Through this task you will further develop your awareness of diversity and experiences of being ‘othered’ in the context of schooling. ‘Cultural plunges’ are cultural immersion experiences that provide exposure to persons or groups markedly different from you. The overall intention behind this plunge is not to be studying the other, but to study yourself as you engage in this experience. For this assessment task, you are to watch eight of the testimonials from survivors of the Stolen Generation. Pay close attention to what each person says about his/her experiences.

Please view the testimonials at this site: http://stolengenerationstestimonies.com/index.php/testimonies/index.1.html
How have the experiences they describe impacted their identity?
What do they say about their school experience?
What have been the long-term effects of their experience?
How are you responding to what you are hearing?
Presentation
This is the part of the assessment task that you are required to submit. It must be no shorter than 7 minutes, and no longer than 12 minutes.
Technology and submission: the narrated power point presentation is to be submitted through LMS or through a link.
There are three elements that you will need to include in your presentation for this assessment task. These may be organised or synthesised as you wish – be creative as long as you meet the assessment criteria.
Some things to think about:
– to reflect upon the testimonials
– to demonstrate connections to the set readings and readings that you have accessed
– to demonstrate an understanding of research around identity and culture and contextualise it into people’s lives.
– demonstrate awareness of your own cultural and social background and how this may impact the way you approach teaching students who have different experiences to yourself
– to reflect on your own cultural bias and stereotyping (something that is often unrealised) and demonstrate how developing your understanding of cultures and identities different to your own will impact the way you will approach teaching.
