Rights and Freedoms 1945–Present, Year 10

About this unit

A complete, ready-to-teach Year 10 History depth study on Rights and Freedoms (1945–present), aligned to Australian Curriculum v9.0 (AC9HH10K07, K09, K10, K11, K13, K15 and skills S01–S08). Australian spelling throughout.

Over seven lessons and two assessment lessons, students follow how First Nations Australians and their supporters campaigned for change, set against the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the US civil rights movement. Topics include the 1938 Day of Mourning, the 1965 Freedom Ride, the Wave Hill walk-off, the 1967 referendum (with a myth-busting look at what it actually changed), the Tent Embassy, Mabo, Bringing Them Home and the 2008 Apology.
