Eddie Mabo and Land Rights Lesson

In this lesson, students will gain an understanding of the Mabo Decision in Australian civil rights history. They will develop an awareness of the Mabo case and the significance of this event’s contribution to understanding of terra nullius and the land rights movement for First Nations Australians. 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.
