Description

Aboriginal-Kinship-Culture – UPDATED! This is a PowerPoint lesson that can be used for all primary year levels. It is suitable for the primary years but you may use this in the early years (just select the slides you wish to discuss first. Aboriginal Kinship is explained through a series of slides (67 – includes cover pages). Natural and up-to-date aboriginal clipart and some photography is used.

This lesson includes;

• WALT – We are learning to (lesson objectives)
• Australian cross curriculum links
• Acknowledgement of country
• Who are Aboriginal people?
• What does Aboriginal Kinship mean?
• 3 levels of kinship

This can be a challenging topic to teach when educators do not wish to offend people from cultures different to their own. This PowerPoint lesson will assist you towards doing this in a gentle manner. If you do not live in Australia and are teaching countries and cultures from around the world, this is also perfect! If you are teaching younger age groups then show the PowerPoint and add your own verbal descriptions to allow students to understand the content in a simplified way. I have worded the concepts in a straight-forward manner, however feel free to adapt. If you are using this lesson in the early childhood years, just use the slides that you feel are appropriate. You may wish to discuss who the aboriginal people are and the description of family types.
