Lesson Plan from the year 2009 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Pedagogy, Literature Studies, , course: Vortrag und Material im Rahmen einer Leherfortbildungsreise nach Australien (DAGB), language: English, abstract: Since the subject of Aborigines is extremely complex, the content must be rigorously reduced for use in the classroom. Therefore, a more complete presentation of the history of settlement and the exact current regulations of today's land rights procedures, for example, must be dispensed with. In order not to anticipate the following lesson contents and not to overload this lesson additionally, a detailed occupation with cultural peculiarities, such as the concept of the Dreamtime, is not further dealt with in terms of content. Only the most important facts and figures were selected for the text, which give the students an insight into the culture and history of the Aborigines and allow them to understand the problems associated with them, but without overwhelming them with too much information. Accordingly, the text and image material was compiled in such a way that it informs, appeals to and motivates the students. From the conception of the teaching unit as well as the lesson introduction and individual text passages (especially text 2) it becomes clear that the topic Aborigines is not only brought to the students on the subject level. In accordance with the requirements of modern foreign language teaching to realize "intercultural learning" instead of learning about the country, the topic of Aborigines was already introduced on an affective and social level. Also in the first text the reference to the "stolen generation" as well as the impact that white settlement had on the Aborigines will appeal to the students on the emotional level. Within this lesson, however, the main objective is to concretize and add content to the knowledge already acquired. The worksheets have been divided and designed according to the three thematic areas selected for this lesson (Aborigines - The First Australians, Culture Clash - The White Settlers, Aborigines - Today).
