Aim
The aim of this program is to provide students with the opportunity to:
- explore their identities as Australians and how they have been shaped by historical events
- reflect on the diversity of Australian identities and how they have changed over time.
Outline
The program has three main components:
-
Introduction – through object handling, students investigate events and themes in Australian history and consider how these influence and connect to our identity as Australians.
-
Gallery visit – working in groups, students explore the Museum's permanent galleries and photograph objects that they feel illustrate the range of identities expressed by Australians throughout our history.
-
Reflection activity – groups use their images to create a poster reflecting a particular aspect of Australian identity.
You may like to allow extra time to visit other exhibitions and to explore other places in the Museum.
