Assignment task: What is Australia's relationship to the Asia-Pacific region?
Your statement should focus specifically on Australia's First Peoples.
The aim of this exercise is to develop a short critical statement that outlines your position on the question. This requires you to develop an argument that is supported by evidence (references). Given the short length of the assignment, evidence will need to be presented in summary form.
You can consult a range of sources, including the information supplied in the first three (3) weeks, other academic books and articles, business reports and analyses, longer media articles (from news and magazine websites etc), and government reports and speeches.
You do NOT need to use ALL of these types of sources in your statement.
You may also briefly discuss relevant personal experiences in your statement.
The minimum expectation would be for your assignment to contain at least four (4) sources, but you should go beyond this minimum and achieving higher grades will require you to do so.
At least one (1) of these sources must be an academic source - a refereed journal article or academic book
All evidence presented must be referenced properly referenced using APA, an in-text referencing system; all forms require a reference list at the end. The most important factor in referencing is to be consistent.
