Assessment block: Week 4 HISTORY TOPICS: - Rights and freedoms - Popular culture RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS: 1. Origins and significance of the UDHR, including Australia's involvement : - ORIGINS: The UDHR was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on the 10th of December 1948, in response to WW2. - SIGNIFICANCE: The UDHR is an international document that recognised the basic rights and fundamental freedom to which all human beings are entitled, influencing international laws, national constitutions, and human rights advocacy. - AUSTRALIAS INVOLVEMENT: Australian diplomat Dr. Herbert Vere Evatt serving as the president of the United Nations General Assembly at the time of the UDHR’s adoption. 2. Outline the purpose of the United Nations: - The United Nations was formed immediately after WW2, with the goal of preventing future wars. - The UN marked a new era of international cooperation, and outlined a vision for the post - war world - One of the first actions of the UN was to draft a declaration of human right, which was ratified in 1948 3. Background to the struggle of the aboriginal and torres strait islander peoples for the rights and freedoms before 1965, including the 1938 day of mourning and the stolen generations: - 1938 DAY OF MOURNING: Marked the 150th anniversary of British colonisation, where Aboriginal activists protested for rights and recognition, highlighting the ongoing injustices and the need for self-determination. - STOLEN GENERATIONS: Refers to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children forcibly removed from their families under assimilation policies, aimed at erasing Indigenous culture and identity, leading to profound trauma and loss. - DISCRIMINATION & INEQUALITY: Prior to 1965, Indigenous Australians faced systemic racism, limited access to education, employment, and healthcare, and were excluded from the Census and voting rights. - ACTIVISM & FORMATION OF ORGANISATION GROUPS: Increased efforts by Aboriginal groups and organisations during the 1940s and 1950s to advocate for legal recognition, land rights, and social justice. - CONSTITUTIONAL INVISIBILITY: Aboriginal people were largely ignored in Australian laws and policies, leading to significant calls for reform and recognition of their rights and freedoms. 4. Explain the purpose and significance of early 20th century aboriginal activism, including the 1938 day of mourning protest: - AWARENESS RAISING: Early 20th century Aboriginal activism aimed to highlight the social injustices and discrimination faced by Indigenous Australians, challenging government policies that marginalised their rights and sovereignty. - CULTURAL PRESERVATION: Activists sought to preserve and promote Aboriginal culture, languages, and traditions against the backdrop of assimilationist policies that threatened their identity. - LEGAL RIGHTS ACTIVISM: The movement aimed to secure legal rights and land entitlements, laying the groundwork for future land rights activism and policy reforms. - THE 1938 DAY OF MOURNING: Marked a pivotal moment in Aboriginal activism, as Indigenous leaders gathered in Sydney to protest the 150th anniversary of British colonisation, highlighting ongoing oppression and demanding rights and equality. - FORMATION OF ORGANISATIONS: This period saw the establishment of key organisations, such as the Aboriginal Progressive Association, creating a unified voice for Aboriginal issues and facilitating collective action. - FUTURE INFLUENCE: Early activism, including the Day of Mourning, inspired subsequent generations and movements, contributing to broader social justice initiatives and the fight for Aboriginal rights in Australia. 5. Discuss the impact of the nsw freedom ride on the civil rights of aboriginal and torres straight islander people: - AWARENESS: The NSW Freedom Ride (1965) highlighted the systemic racism faced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia, gaining national media attention. - ACTIVISM: It inspired a new wave of Indigenous activism and youth involvement, prompting further campaigns for civil rights and social change. - LEGISLATION PRESSURE: The ride pressured the Australian government to address issues such as land rights, education inequality, and discrimination, leading to future reforms. - UNITY AMONG ABORIGINAL COMMUNITIES: Fostered solidarity among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities across Australia, strengthening their collective voice. - CULTURAL RECOGNITION: Raised public awareness of Indigenous culture and rights, leading to greater recognition and respect in Australian society. - FOUNDATION FOR FUTURE MOVEMENTS: Set a precedent for subsequent civil rights movements, including the 1972 Aboriginal Tent Embassy and the 1988 Bicentennial protests. 6. The significance of the following for the civil rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples: 1962 right to vote federally; 1967 Referendum; Reconciliation; Mabo decision; Bringing Them Home Report (the Stolen Generations); the Apology: - 1962 RIGHT TO VOTE FEDERALLY: Granted Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples the legal right to vote in federal elections, marking a crucial step towards political representation and equality in Australia. - 1967 REFERENDUM: Resulted in a historic constitutional change, allowing the federal government to make laws for Aboriginal peoples and including them in the national census, symbolising a shift towards recognition and inclusion. - RECONCILIATION: A process aimed at addressing past injustices and fostering respectful relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians, promoting healing, understanding, and equality. - MABO DECISION (1992): Recognised the native title rights of the Meriam people, overturning the legal doctrine of terra nullius, and establishing a foundation for Indigenous land rights in Australia. - BRINGING THEM HOME REPORT (1997): Detailed the impacts of the Stolen Generations and recommended reparations and policies to restore rights and address the ongoing trauma experienced by Indigenous families. - THE APOLOGY (2008): Delivered by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, it formally acknowledged the injustices faced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples due to past policies, serving as a crucial step towards healing and reconciliation. 7. Outline the background, aims and significance of key developments in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' struggle for rights and freedoms: BACKGROUND: - COLONISATION IMPACT: Europeans settled Australia in 1788, leading to the dispossession, dislocation, and severe decline of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations and cultures. - POLICIES OF ASSIMILATION: Throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, government policies aimed at assimilating Indigenous peoples, resulting in the Stolen Generations and loss of cultural identity. AIMS: - RECOGNITION OF LAND RIGHTS: Advocate for legal recognition and restitution of traditional lands, culminating in landmark cases like the Mabo decision (1992). - POLITICAL REPRESENTATION: Seek greater representation in government and political processes, including the establishment of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission (ATSIC) in the 1990s. - EQUALITY AND ANTI-DISCRIMINATION: Push for equal rights and the abolition of discriminatory laws, seeking protections against racism and social injustice. - CULTURAL RECOGNITION: Aim for the preservation and revitalization of Indigenous cultures, languages, and traditions, ensuring cultural heritage is acknowledged and celebrated. SIGNIFICANCE: - LAND RIGHTS LEGISLATION: The successful land rights campaigns led to significant legal changes and acknowledgment of Indigenous land ownership, such as the Native Title Act (1993). - CONSTITUTIONAL RECOGNITION: The struggle has increasingly highlighted the need for reconciliation and constitutional recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples within Australian law. - SOCIAL AWARENESS CONSTITUTION: ndigenous activism has raised awareness of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander issues, influencing public discourse and inspiring broader human rights movements in Australia. POPULAR CULTURE: 1. The nature/main features of popular culture at the end of World War II, including music, film, sport, and fashion: - MUSIC: The rise of jazz, swing, and the beginnings of rock 'n' roll; popular artists included Frank Sinatra and Billie Holiday. - FILM: Hollywood's Golden Age with classic films like "Casablanca" and "It's a Wonderful Life"; emergence of film noir and increased use of Technicolor. - SPORT: Growth in popularity of professional athletics, especially baseball and boxing; the integration of sports began with notable figures like Jackie Robinson. - FASHION: Post-war styles reflecting optimism; the "New Look" by Christian Dior emphasising femininity with cinched waists and full skirts; casual attire gaining popularity. 2.

(census data and trends) - Australia's religious profile shows a decline in Christianity, growth in Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism, and a rising number of people identifying as having no religion. Assessment block: Week 4 SCIENCE TOPICS: - The Term 3 Biology unit “Who do you think you are?” - The Term 4 Ecology unit “Living in Harmony” WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? 1. Genetic inheritance - traits, genes, chromosomes: - TRAITS: Characteristics passed from parents to offspring (e.g, eye colour). - GENES Segments of DNA that code for proteins and traits. - CHROMOSOMES: Thread-like structures made of DNA, humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes 2. DNA - Structure, make-up, location in cell: - STRUCTURE Double helix, made of nucleotides (Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine) - ADENINE - THYMINE // CYTOSINE - GUANINE - ^^^^^ codes for amino acid - LOCATION: DNA is found in the nucleus of a cell. - 3. Discovery of DNA (contribution of Watson & Crick, Franklin): - WATSON AND CRICK: Discovered the double helix in 1953 - ROSALINE AND FRANKLIN: Contributor with X - Ray diffraction images of DNA. Took the first ever image of DNA (with x-rays) confirming the double-helix structure - 4. DNA replication: - The process by which DNA makes an identical copy of itself, is crucial for cell division STEPS - 5. Mutations and mutagens: - MUTATIONS: Changes in the DNA sequence that can be caused by environmental factors or errors during replication - DIFFERENT TYPES, WHEN THEY OCCUR - MUTAGENS: Agents that cause mutations (eng, radiation, chemicals) (e.g cigarettes/sun/radiation causing cancer) 6. Mitosis and meiosis: - MITOSIS: - Purpose is for cell division for growth and repair. - 2 identical daughter cells with 46 chromosomes total. (diploid) - Occurs in non-reproductive cells/ somatic cells (everywhere except ovaries and testes) - In single-celled organisms, mitosis is responsivle for ‘A-sexual reproduction’ - MEIOSIS: - Purpose is to produce sex cells (gametes) - 4 sex cells 23 chromosomes (haploid) - Occurs in sex cells (ovaries and testes) - Daughter cells are called sperm and eggs 7. Genetic crosses and punnett squares (Work of Gregor Mendel) - GREGOR MANDELS WORK: Showed inheritance patterns using pea plants. - PUNNET SQUARES: Diagrams to predict offspring genotype from parental alleles. 8. Genetic Terminology - ALLELES: Different versions of a gene - HOMOZYGOUS: Two identical alleles.(e.g AA, or aa) - HETEROZYGOUS: Two different alleles (e.g, Aa) - PHENOTYPE: Traits or characteristics of an organism (e.g eye colour) - GENOTYPE: The genetic makeup of an organism. - HOMOLOGOUS PAIR: A pair of chromosomes, one from each parent - PURE-BREED: Organisms with two identical alleles for a trait(eg AA). - HYBRID: Organism with two different alleles for a trait - DOMINANT RECESSIVE - TRAIT: A specific characteristic of an organism 9. Genetic technologies - CRISPR-Cas9: A gene tool that allowed for precise modifications to DNA - GENE THERAPY: Replacing defective genes with functional ones to treat genetic disordejrs. - CLONING: Creating an identical copy of an organism (e.g Dolly the sheep) - GMO 9: (Genetically modified organisms) are Organisms whose genetic material has been altered for specific traits (e.g pest-resistant crops) 10. The theory of Evolution by Natural Selection - Proposed by Charles Darwin, it explains how species evolve due to differential survival and reproduction. - KEY CONCEPTS: Variation within species, competition for resources, those with advantageous traits survitve and reproduce, passing these traits to offspring. 11. ‘Survival of the fittest’ - Refers to the idea that individuals best suited to their environment (in terms of reproductive success, not physical strength) are more likely to survive and reproduce. 12. Lamarck’s Theory of Acquired Characteristics (inheritance) - Believed characteristics could change within a lifetime to adapt to environments. -> These changes would be passed down to offspring. - THEORY DISPROVEN: e.g. mice with tails chopped off will have babies with tails. 13. Process of Natural selection (examples) - Natural variation → Competition/selection pressures → Survival of the fittest → Reproduction → Evolution - EXAMPLE: Peppered moth during the Industrial Revolution 14. Modelling Natural selection - Simulations or models (e.g., bead experiments, digital simulations) that demonstrate how certain traits increase in frequency over generations in response to environmental pressures. 15. Evidence for evolution (Biogeography, DNA studies, Comparative anatomy, embryology, fossil records) - BIOGRAPHY: Distribution of species across the world (e.g Galapagos finches) DNA STUDIES: Genetic similarities between species suggest common ancestry. - COMPARATIVE ANATOMY: Homologous structures (e.g., the forelimbs of whales, humans, and bats) indicate common ancestry. - EMBRYOLOGY: Similarities in the early development stages of different organisms suggest evolutionary relationships. - FOSSIL RECORDS: Show the progressions of life forms from simpler to more complex organisms over millions of years.

ENGLISH TOPICS - Coming of age genre study 1. Characteristics of the coming of age genre: - Personal growth - Identity exploration - Transitional period - Relationships - Conflict and challenges - Life lessons - Emotional depth 2. Bildungsroman/coming of age genre stages: - STAGE 1: THE CALL (Chaos): the protagonist is usually from a small town or village, and they journey to a more complex realm, or to a large city. The protagonist must separate from their family in order to gain an identity that is separate and distinct. The protagonist searches for answers beyond their home - STAGE 2: THE APPRENTICESHIP (Opportunity): Education is crucial to the protagonists progress into maturity. The protagonist is often disappointed by this new world, as it does not live up to their expectations. The protagonist finds their education in the disappointment of the new world, and this allows them to successfully maure and gain their distinct identity. - STAGE 3: MATURITY (Defiance): The protagonist achieves their maturity with difficulty, and it allows them a sense of pride in having obtained it through the tests and obstacles they've had to face. The protagonist experiences psychological, moral and/or spiritual growth. The protagonist and the readers accept that they are not a superior character: that they are flawbed, but they are fundamentally good - STAGE 4 - ACCEPTANCE AND REMEDY (Emergence): The protagonist usually returns to the place they left originally/ the reader is able to see the contrast between the protagonist at the beginning of the text and the person they've become once they return to the place they left. The protagonist is able to help others with their newfound maturity and wisdom 3. Revise scenes from ‘be my brother’ (2009) by Genevieve Clay Smith https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mVym-YT-KWpva46SgGhLN5Hd9OB9EQNvt6Lk1VeJ AgM/edit 4. Quotes from ‘be my brother’ - QUOTES: - “ I am what i am, and i cannot change, my brother he does not understand, he thinks that he doesnt want to be near me, i always seem to embarrass him, and i dont like to be ignored ” - Richard (defiance stage) - “I can't do impersonations” - Amanda (metaphorically meaning I can't be something im not - indirectly showing commonality between Amanda and Richard) 5. Cinematic film techniques - CINEMATIC & FILM TECHNIQUES: - Shots (uninterupted recording) and framing, camera angles and camera movements to achieve different effects - use the word ‘frame’ to discuss this - ESTABLISHING SHOT: Different from a long shot, it sets the scene and is used to establish and to show transitions between locations - LONG SHOT: A shot from some distance. If filming a person, the full body is shown. It may show the isolation or vulnerability of the character - MEDIUM SHOT: The most common shot. The camera seems to be a medium distance from the object being filmed. A medium shot shows the person from the waist up. The effect is to ground the story - CLOSE UP SHOT: Takes up 80% of the frame, effect of close up person showing significance of emotion; close up of object or animal showing that is significant. - EXTREME CLOSE UP: The image being shot is a part of a whole, such as an eye or hand. Showing us something is about to go down, displaying subtle but significant details. - TWO SHOT: Includes both characters more or less equally , where the interaction between two is important. - EYE LEVEL: Characters eye level, most natural angle. Can be used to create relatability between viewer and character, deepens connection between the two, most natural angle, can also mean straight on, does not have to be directly eye to eye. Eye level shots can convey two characters having equal significance. - HIGH ANGLE: Camera is above the character, can create an image of the person look smaller appearing weak, powerless or trapped. Can also indicate a power imbalance, vulnerability. - LOW ANGLE: The subject is viewed from below, usually making them look larger than normal, strong, powerful and threatening, triumphed, significant. - PAN: Side to side - TILT: Up or down - ZOOM: Move closer or further away from the camera. - MOVEMENT: To increase intensity, feel the movement and be part of the action, distance us or connect us through proximity.
