Task Description Social Inclusion and Exclusion

Throughout your study of this unit you have gained an understanding of the
ways individuals and groups in societies and cultures can be effected by
social inclusion and exclusion.

For this assessment task you are required to use the country and racial
group which has been studied in class and evaluate the social inclusion or
exclusion of the group in relation to access to ONE of the following socially
valued resources:
education
housing
employment
health care
technologies
the justice system
 Once you have selected a socially valued resource you need to conduct
research, create and present an innovative and engaging FIVE (5) minute
oral and visual presentation answering the following question:

How has social inclusion or exclusion of Indigenous Australians, in

relation to ONE of the socially valued resources, impacted upon the life
chances of its members?

Presentations will be in small groups, whilst the rest of the class work in a
different classroom (with a supervising teacher present). When one group of
four finishes the next group will begin. The order of presentations will be
sequenced at random for each class and these will be made available on the
first day of the presentations.

Preparation Guidelines:
The visual component of your presentation should be created using
one of the following programs:
o Microsoft PowerPoint
o Presi
o Other (This needs to be approved by your classroom teacher
before commencing the task).
To assist your oral presentation you are able to use palm cards with
written notes. These cards should only contain a brief list of key
words or phrases, you should not read your oral presentation.
Your oral and visual presentation will be presented to your Society
and Culture teacher/s and 4 students from your class. One student
will be allocated to complete a peer assessment of each oral, using
the same marking scheme as the teachers. Peer assessment will be
used to inform, but not necessarily change teacher assessment.
You will be assessed on how well you:
examine and evaluate the ways social inclusion and exclusion impact
upon the life chances of the members of the group you have studied.
integrate and explain the relationship between Indigenous
Australians and ONE socially valued resource.
research and prepare an innovative and engaging FIVE (5) minute
oral and visual presentation.
give an effective presentation within the given timeframe.

Submission Details You must submit a digital copy of the original presentation, via student email,
to your classroom teacher by 9am on the day the assessment is due.
Failure to complete the task, will result in an N-Award warning unless illness
or misadventure can be proven. Delay in informing teachers of possible
scheduling conflicts will result in penalties in accordance with the
assessment and reporting document issued to students.
