3. 1.4 Strategies for teaching Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students Demonstrate broad knowledge and understanding of the impact of culture, cultural identity and linguistic background on the education of students from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander backgrounds.
3.1. For own personal reference. Keeping mind a few teaching strategies such as; Avoiding eye contact, ensuring students feel comfortable and safe within the classroom environment, check students understand what is going on or if they need any help-(softly!), set high expectations and create authentic tasks that students can relate their learning to their own personal life experiences. Ideas inspired from https://www.creativespirits.info/aboriginalculture/education/teaching-aboriginal-students
4. Use of visual art elements and techniques, to create 2D and 3D artwork, that communicate an idea to an audience (ACAVAM108)
4.1. Students create their own comic poster through the use of Aboriginal Art Symbols to tell a story. These stories will be shown to friends and families on parent' evening.
4.1.1. I have chosen to present their art work on this evening so they may feel a sense of pride and excitement to show loved ones, this also allows for those who are uncomfortable to speak in front of a crowd to display their work in a way that meets their needs.

11.1. Work in groups of 4-5 and practice one Aboriginal Symbol each. Discuss and share with the group what their chosen symbol was, why they chose that particular symbol, what colours they used to represent the symbol, did this have any meaning to them? What shapes/colours or interesting factors they noticed about the symbol.
