| 3. What did Ruthie experience? – comparison activity
This activity provides strategies to assist students in comparing Ruthie’s story with the personal stories provided to the Bringing them home Inquiry. It uses storytelling to develop an understanding of the differences and similarities of the experiences of Indigenous children who were separated from their families.
1. Students select one of the personal stories from the module. Teachers should ensure that students understand that the personal stories included in the module are sourced from evidence submitted to the National Inquiry into the Separation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children from Their Families, and that the evidence included in these stories contributed to the findings and recommendations included in the Bringing them home report.
2. After reading the personal story they have selected from the module, students work individually to draw comparisons using the table provided.
3. Working as a class discuss the comparisons the students have made. Discussion questions are provided on the worksheet.
4. During the discussion, ensure that students understand how the separation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families had long-term effects on those people who were removed, their families and their communities.
