1. Brainstorming
Brainstorming encourages students’ participation, bringing out the creativity. The process of brainstorming is generalising ideas in a topic, without pausing for evaluation (Woolf,P.181). Some of the rules of brainstorming are to defer judgement, not to let ego dominate to claim ownership of ideas, could enhance existing ideas, and to encourage unimaginable and possible ideas, as this they could lead to manageable and practical ideas (Woolf,P.181). An example of brainstorming could be in introducing water cycle, brainstorming about evaporation and condensation, what they know about the process and where they have seen them taking place in real life.
2. Display materials
Teachers could gather materials and arrange them prior to the lesson, ensuring that they are related to the topic and displaying it, enabling students relate easily to the topic (W P.147).
Some examples are:
. arranging pop sticks of different colours for the students to count and write number of pop sticks in each colour, and also to write the fraction of each.
. Displaying artworks by an artist to discuss about the artist’s style and encouraging students to identify them.
. Displaying items that fall in the three state of matter such as pencil, honey, oil, sugar and balloon, you can ask the year3

This would be beneficial, especially for the students who have never met or interacted with an Aboriginal person (Abo, P.67). The person could speak about their family, dream time stories, how they grew up in their community, the places with importance, the way they are attached to their land, the reason why they feel they feel the country is important to them (P.67). The students would have an insight about the Aboriginal perspective, paving way to understand and respect other

    I lived in an inland rural area of New South Wales, and after finishing school I moved to Kununurra, a northern remote area in Western Australia. This was a place where my knowledge and understanding of the Aboriginal people their culture, history and identity was largely developed. I was exposed to so many dimensions of the different ways they lived, whether it was traditionally in remote communities or within the township. This exposure tested and challenged my thoughts, it lead me to further question some of the reasons why the Aboriginal people had vastly different ways of living. During the 3 years I lived in Kununurra I gained much repect for their culture and…

    For example, if an Aboriginal student continually arrived late for school I would avoid an interrogation about why they were late, rather I would emphasise the importance of their contribution as a class member. Through the unit readings, I have come to understand that the Aboriginal culture raises their children to be independent at an early age, encouraging them to make their own decisions about bedtime and when to wake up for school. (Commonwealth of Australia, 2010). This is a stark contrast to the dominant Australian view, which sees parents being responsible for these tasks. Not understanding the difference in cultures can breed ignorance, intolerance and stereotypical views, which imposes a negative set of beliefs about “what you do and not so much about who you are” as a person.…

    A thorough understanding of the past injustices that have occurred since colonisation, by understanding this can a true appreciation be had of what challenges have been faced by Indigenous Australians in the past and presently. Obtaining an awareness of the key events that have occurred can assist in providing an understanding of the journey that has been followed and how we come to see the key themes of disadvantage. An anti-bias curriculum must be developed when educators are teaching this subject, teachers can easily and inadvertently convey or reinforce negative attitudes and provide incorrect information about Aboriginal peoples by using inappropriate terms, it is important educators learn what is acceptable terminology (Craven, 2011). Educators should also embrace a whole-school approach for confronting racism rather than a classroom to classroom approach.…

    On October 15th, 2015 Caitlin, Christy and I visited the Long Island Children Museum to learn more about fun activities to do with children for a science lesson. When we first got there and looked around the first floor we all looked at each other because we didn’t think we would find anything here that had to do with science. After walking around the first floor for a little bit, we realized there were two sections here that had to deal with science. The first section we realized was called Bubbles and we didn’t go in it right away because there were so many little children in there and we didn’t want to bother them. So, then we went to the second section on the first floor which was called the Tool Box.…

    This past year in particular, I have immersed myself in Aboriginal Education. I have attended numerous workshops put on by the First Nations Education Steering Committee and the Surrey School District, looking at Indian Residential Schools, First Peoples Science, Authentic Resources, and First Peoples Perspectives. I have brought back resources and a wealth of knowledge to share with those around me. This fall at Erma Stephenson Elementary, I was lucky enough to be invited to present at a school based non-instructional day. I had the ability to share resources and address many fears that individuals have with bringing these big ideas and content into their classrooms.…
