Investigate and identify various perspectives and experiences from initial encounters (AC9HS5S04, AC9HH7K02)
Look closely at information (primary and secondary sources) to find different points of view (AC9HS5S04, AC9HH7K01)
Give examples of at least two different perspectives on early encounters between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and British settlers (AC9HS5K02, AC9HS6K01, AC9HH7K01)
Create a representation (like a storyboard or short scene) that shows an important part of a particular perspective of initial contact (AC9HS5S04, AC9HS6K03)
