This is a history style lesson designed to help children understand the Stolen Generations before the next lesson where they will view poems about this issue and have to analyse them. It introduces students to the assimilation policy, includes images of newspaper advertisements at the time (selling half-caste children) and looks at the beliefs held at the time about this issue. It includes clips from the film Rabbit Proof Fence along with questions to help check for understanding and to develop empathy. Following this, information is provided about what the institutions were like as well as historical sources (testimonies of stolen children remembering the day they were taken). Finally, it looks at the effects and consequences of the stolen generation with information taken from the Creative Spirits website. Additional resources: A handout with the questions for the Rabbit Proof Fence viewing activity. A homework handout (mind mapping the effects of the stolen generation.)

A differentiated and editable history lesson all about The Stolen Generations, what it was like for native Australians at the time of British rule and whether or not an apology from a later Prime Minister is really ever going to be enough to make up for the travesties forced onto the Aboriginal people.

Ben and the Stolen Diamond is a short story I wrote for my year 4 class’s Talk 4 Writing unit on finding tales. We used the story for reading lessons, vocabulary work and a basis for shared writing. We also created story maps and internalised this as a model text. The story follows the generic plot of a finding tale based on Pie Corbett’s research into teaching writing. The story would be suitable for year 3 or 4 as it covers the grammar points for LKS2. In particular, there is a focus on fronted adverbials and expanded noun phrases. There are also adverbs and an example of direct speech. This resource pack includes a PDF and a Word version so that you can adjust the story to fit your class’s needs. This resource complements the newspaper article on Ben and the Stolen Diamond which can be used for non-fiction teaching.
