Assignment 3: Practice Portfolio by ALBINA JUSUFI https://padlet.com/ajusufi/t8xczi6w2fixxfl8 en-us 2022-10-18 06:28:46 UTC 2025-11-17 22:34:44 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f4da.png Resource 1: Playschool Online Video (ABCiview n.d.) ajusufi https://padlet.com/ajusufi/t8xczi6w2fixxfl8/wish/2350816129 This resource is a 27 minute long online video by playschool (reference). This online video teaches kids how important acknowledgement of country is. This is important because an Acknowledgement of Country allows anybody to demonstrate respect for Traditional Owners and the ongoing link of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to Country  (Reconciliation Australia 2022). It shows the linguistic background of aboriginal people. It also teaches students to understand and respect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples country and land. In order to do this, playschool has incorporated play, toys, role-playing and music to engage children. This video focuses on the theme of country. This is demonstrated at the beginning of the video as the actors have placed out a map of Australia using sand, rocks, leaves and grass. Each person has labelled where each Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander is from so that students can understand the different cultural groups. It also connects to the theme of country as the actors in the video have used native Australian animals and used Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander terms to call them by. The video also includes living things connect to land such as plants, animals and people. It incorporates appropriate terminology and engages children in learning how to say hello from three different cultural groups in Australia at the start of the film, which demonstrates the linguistic background of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. This resource links to the AITSL standard 2.4 (AITSL 2011). This is demonstrated as this recourse gives the students an understanding of respecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in order to promote reconciliation. They do this by showing respect of the country and land by doing things such as an acknowledgement of country, as well as using appropriate terminology. This resource also connects to the AITSL standard 2.4 (AITSL 2011), as the video displays the histories, cultures and languages of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people’s and engaging students while doing so. This recourse links to the AITSL standard 1.4 (AITSL 2011), as the online video demonstrates to students an understanding of the impact of culture, cultural identity and linguistic background of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. The video talks about Australian animals, the country Australia, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander terms, acknowledgement of country, using a digeridoo, including leaves plants and rocks and dancing to show the impact of culture as well as identity. The included storytelling, songs, art, dances, and creative endeavours help broaden the viewpoints of young children and their families about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture (ABCiview n.d.)]]> 2022-10-21 14:37:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ajusufi/t8xczi6w2fixxfl8/wish/2350816129 Recourse 2: Online Book ‘Respect’ (AWAHS Albury Wodonga Aboriginal Health Service 2020) ajusufi https://padlet.com/ajusufi/t8xczi6w2fixxfl8/wish/2350817293 This resource is the book "Respect” (Lawson 2020). It is the first book in a series of four children's picture books titled "Our Place." This book teaches young readers the essential aspects of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture. In this book, Muir and Lawson emphasise the need of respecting our lands, our culture, as well as ourselves and one another. The book "Respect" conveys a delicate and compassionate message about the fundamental cultural concept that guides all Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nations. It teaches us how to honour our Elders, those who have lived before us,  family, our Friends, and our country, and most crucially, ourselves. The book 'Respect,' by the same author and illustrator team, is best presented alongside the book 'Welcome to Country.' They each communicate the beauty of the Australian land, the wildlife, plants, the people that live there and the respect that unites them. This book is ideal for a variety of primary year levels ranging from Prep to Year 4. This story/picture book links to the AITSL 2.4 standard (AITSL 2011). This is demonstrated in the book, which tells young and old alike what respect looks like for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples (Lawson 2020). It shares a respect and understanding that is "older than red earth" and establishes a baseline for change and the trajectory of our futures via reconciliation, honest speaking, and respect. The book also corresponds to the AITSL (2.4) standard (AITSL 2011), since the main character, a young girl, proceeds on a journey to learn about country, nature, land, heritage, and her elders, all of which relate to the theme of country. She also learns the significance of family and the virtue of mutual and self-respect. The book connects to the theme of country as it states in one of its pages’ We respect Country, each other, me’’. This gives an understanding to students of what country means to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and important it is to respect country. It also connects to the theme of country as the book includes images of animals such as an eagle, red gum leaves, water and the ocean waves which all represent country.

It is a song that goes by the words ‘ friends ,friends sharing this great land together, we can reach right down touch the ground, friends, friends hand in hand’(ABCkids 2019). Aunty Tracey Linn Bostock's words and deeds are included into the song; she is a descendant of the Bundjalung Nation, which is her Grandmother's and Grandfather's Country (ABCkids 2019). The song "Hand in Hand" educates students about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples culture and emphasises the necessity of caring for country and caring for one another with respect. This resource links to the AITSL standard 1.4 (AITSL 2011) as the song's lyrics demonstrate a connection between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and background by mentioning the land and sharing hand in hand which is what Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people stand strongly by. The resource links to the AITSL standard 2.4 ’Understand and respect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to promote reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians’ (AITSL 2011). This is because the song states "sharing this great land together, hand in hand," which indicates that friendly connections are being restored. Reconciliation is the process by which individuals make peace, which is what this song is attempting to illustrate when it mentions' sharing this great land together' with friends. This then also connects to the theme of reciprocity as reciprocity is the practice of exchanging with others for mutual benefit (Cultural Survival 2022). ‘Friends, friends sharing this great land together’ displays what enhancing with others for mutual benefit means to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, which is sharing the land with their friends in order to receive mutual benefits. This also shows that sharing the land with others entails reciprocity between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, since everyone shares what they have.

This is the tale of Mary, a little girl who lives on a dusty ranch. When she is rejected by the other girls due to her pale complexion, one of the community's elders, Old Ned, defends her. He educates her that Aboriginal identity surpasses skin colour and that family, community, country, and culture are at the core of what it means to be Aboriginal. This book illustrates the variety of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and their physical characteristics, which comprise their identity. This book is meant to enhance children's cultural understanding and comprehension of Aboriginal identity. This book links to the theme of identity as goes into depth about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples beliefs, culture, history, who they are and what they mean to others which is what identity means to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (Andersen & Andersen 2019). It also relates to identity, as the book conveys the important idea that Aboriginal identity is not based on skin colour and that we must follow Old Ned's words of wisdom: ‘We are all brothers and sisters in this life, regardless of skin colour’ (Heiss 2022). The recourse connects to the AITSL standard 2.4 (AITSL 2011) because the book delves into the beliefs and cultural and historical background of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people by enhancing  students cultural understanding of identity in a respectful way. The resource is associated with AITSL standard 1.4 (AITSL, 2011) because it demonstrates broad knowledge on the impact of culture and cultural identity by examining the physical characteristics of the characters and the fact that Aboriginal identity overrides skin colour and that relatives, community, country, and culture are at the heart of what it means to be Aboriginal (Andersen & Andersen 2019) ]]> 2022-10-21 14:38:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ajusufi/t8xczi6w2fixxfl8/wish/2350818512
