The 1967 Referendum Lesson

In this lesson, students will learn about the historical significance of the 1967 Australian referendum, which marked a pivotal moment in the recognition and rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. They will explore the socio-political context leading up to the referendum, its outcomes, and its lasting impact on Indigenous rights and Australian society. Students will have the opportunity to achieve this through choosing their own method of learning, from reading and research options, as well as the chance to engage in extension activities. This lesson includes a self-marking quiz for students to demonstrate their learning.
