Aim
Is that you Ruthie? is Ruth Hegarty’s personal story, including her arrival at Cherbourg Aboriginal Mission as a small child, her life as a dormitory girl and her experiences as a domestic sent out to work on a station homestead. The activities in this resource are intended to assist students in reading and responding to the text.
The activities can be photocopied for class use and used individually or as an entire resource.
Through these activities students will develop:
-
an understanding of the short and long-term experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children who were removed from their families and institutionalised in missions and children’s homes
-
skills in exploring histories and social justice through reading and discussion
-
skills in analysing, evaluating and responding to literature.
