Regenerating Australia - Watching the film (5&6)
Inspire your students to explore ideas, solutions and stories to regenerate Australia.
Overview
In this lesson, students will work towards understanding the concept of ‘regeneration’ and the impact of regeneration on our communities and ecosystems. They will review their understanding of a set of key terms, then watch the film “Regenerating Australia”. They will make their thinking about the film visible through the See/Think/Wonder tool, then read through a factsheet on regeneration. They will summarise their understanding of regeneration, then extend their understanding through a Gallery Walk activity, before returning to their summaries as a reflection exercise.
Learning intentions:
Students will...
- understand the concept of ‘regeneration’.
- understand the impact of regeneration on our society and ecosystems.
Success criteria:
Students can...
- describe the meaning of regeneration in their own words.
- describe an example of regeneration.

We recognise their deep spiritual and cultural connections to Country and their role in caring for and Basetaining Country. We acknowledge that this land, of which we are beneficiaries, was never ceded.
