2. Static Image Creation/Analysis

Homework

Complete Lessons 1 to 3 by Friday at 3 pm.

Lesson 5.1 Understanding Current Debates in Racism

1. Write a one-page summary about why is it considered inappropriate for Kiwis to sell Golliwog Dolls?

2. Write the heading ‘Black Face.’ Underneath, create several dot-points that summarise why black face should not be worn today.

Lesson 5.2 and 5.3 Poster Project

Create a poster or static image that celebrates tolerance, diversity, and inclusion in New Zealand and how our society is enriched by persons from different ethnic groups, religious backgrounds, and nationalities. Your poster should include an accurate, catchy title, a symbol of equality, at least one photo with caption(s) (words describing the image). The purpose of the poster is to persuade people to become more tolerant.

I do not want you to create this on your computer or use clip art. Write in on one or two pages of your Red Books and do it by hand. Stick figures are fine!

FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:
