Students are required to provide a 200-250 word response to the weekly online activity. Each response should address the question, have an introduction, body and conclusion, give evidence and citation. Your answers need to be succinct, yet demonstrate that you have engaged with the unit materials, readings and so on. 

This Assessment Task relates to the following Learning Outcomes:

• Compare and contrast a range of meanings of the concept Indigenous community.
• Distinguish between education in Indigenous communities and education from Indigenous communities.
• Outline Australian and international models of working collaboratively within an Indigenous community education setting.
• Evaluate a range of methods to incorporate Indigenous Knowledges in a learning environment.
• Justify your stance on Indigenous learning styles.
• Critically engage with the perspectives of other students using the prescribed online technology (i.e. ilearn).

Please note that late submissions will result in a one mark per day penalty.

Students are required to prepare a transcript for a 5 minute speech. You will not be required to deliver the speech. You are required to submit the transcript only. Importantly, you are expected to rehearse the speech, while timing it at between four and a half and five minutes. If it is too long, cut it down, if it is too short, write more. And remember to speak slowly but confidently, don’t rush to manage your word count, or go too slowly to avoid doing more work. 

Your transcript should not be an essay, or other form of written work, but rather a transcript of a real speech. That means that it should be written for oral presentation. You should therefore write it as though you were going to present it verbally. I will give hints about speech writing, structure and so on. Nevertheless, you may need to do a little research on speech writing, oral presentation structure and so on.

It is worth remembering that you are not doing stand-up comedy, or speaking at a wedding, but aiming your presentation to your colleagues. Professionalism is important, make reference to your sources and cite your evidence.  

Oral Presentation Topic: Indigenous Agency

Does inviting Indigenous people to take part in your teaching program equal ‘Indigenous Agency’?

Students are required to choose from the three available essay questions and prepare a 4000 word academic style essay (written response).

As with all essays, this essay must contain an argument, cite evidence and employ expert academic support. A 4000 word essay needs to be planned properly and so an essay plan should be developed. This will help you write the essay and help you maintain a good argument, structure and flow of ideas.
