Lesson #9 Enviornment

Lesson #9 Environment

This is all about looking at the environment and seeing if we would benefit from traditional Aboriginal knowledge of the land in the world that is using the land for economic gain. Students will work in groups on a work sheet.

Renewable vs Non-renewable Work sheet


1. Goal of the day: students to learn more about the staple economies in Canada and the early years of colonialism.
2. How will they learn? Students will watch a timeline video of Canada.

Introduction to Native Studies

What is Native Studies?

Make a prediction. Is this video Native Studies? Why or why not?





  • Watch the video again.
  • In your notebook, under the heading, "Traditional Pow Wow, First Nations University of Canada YouTube Video" list what you observe in the video. Be as detailed as you can.
  • Or, draw a sketch and label with details. Again, be specific.
  • Write a paragraph, in your opinion, what does this video have to do with Native Studies?

Historical Thinking

http://historicalthinking.ca/historical-thinking-concepts

Sketch this diagram of "HISTORICAL THINKING CONCEPTS" into your notebook.       

ConceptsThe Historical Thinking Project works with six distinct but closely interrelated historical thinking concepts. To think historically, students need to be able to:




















  1. Establish historical significance
  2. Use primary source evidence
  3. Identify continuity and change
  4. Analyze cause and consequence
  5. Take historical perspectives, and
  6. Understand the ethical dimension of historical interpretations.
Taken together, these concepts tie “historical thinking” to competencies in “historical literacy.” In this case, “historical literacy” means gaining a deep understanding of historical events and processes through active engagement with historical texts.

Historically literate citizens can assess the legitimacy of claims that there was no Holocaust, that slavery wasn't so bad for African-Americans, that aboriginal rights have a historical basis, and that the Russian experience in Afghanistan serves as a warning to the Canadian mission there. They have thoughtful ways to tackle these debates. They can interrogate historical sources. They know that a historical film can look "realistic" without being accurate. They understand the value of a footnote.

In short, they can detect the differences, as Margaret MacMillan's book title reads, between the uses and abuses of history. “Historical thinking” only becomes possible in relation to substantive content. These concepts are not abstract “skills.” Rather, they provide the structure that shapes the practice of history.

Respect and Identity

Introduction to Native Studies and Unit One: Identity and World Views

Day One (September 1)
Dream. Who am I?
·         Watch Identity Videos.
·         Visual Notes
Think. Why is identity important?
·         Think, pair, share
Consider. Who should “be allowed” to tell my story? Discussion
·         Personal History?
·         Family History?
·         Community History?
·         Provincial History?
·         Canadian History?
Imagine. What if someone else told your story? Small Group Discussion and then write a one paragraph report on yourself from one of the following: social worker, government agent, researcher, religious person, educator, police officer.
·         A teacher?
·         A principal?
·         A friend?
·         Your kokum?
·         A social worker?
·         A government agent sent to check up on you?
·         A researcher who believes you’re not very smart?
·         A religious person who believes you are inferior?
·         An educator who wants you to be just like her?
·         A police officer who believes your family is trouble?
·         A person who does not speak your language?
Share. In a circle, read your paragraph or an excerpt from your paragraph.
Reflect. How does it feel to have this report shared aloud?
Extend. What if this report were shared as the “truth” and others believed it as the truth?



Day Two (September 2)
Consider. Who “gets to” tell identity stories? Why?  Share examples and stories of each one.
·         Me
·         Parents (baby books, oral tradition)
·         Family storyteller (Letters, oral tradition)
·         Community History Books (Settlers of the Hills)
·         Schools (Kitoskayiminiwak Pikiskwewak)
·         Authors (Black Elk Speaks, Chief Dan George, )
·         Researchers (Scallion and Scallion, Text books)
·         Governments (Curriculum documents, policy, papers, reports)
·         Government Agencies (schools, hospitals, jails, social services, Office of the Treaty Commissioner)
·         Others
Who am I? Assignment #1
On Day Four of class, we will each share our autobiographies. You may communicate in written, poster, or oral format. Note the evaluation sheet.
Choose one of the following ways to create an Autobiography (or work with a partner and create a Biography on each other.)
·         Create a poster using the holistic medicine wheel quadrants: emotional, spiritual, intellectual and physical. You may use collage, sketching, words, etc.
·         Using the paragraph you created yesterday, written from a negative perspective, create a Venn Diagram. One side of the circle is from the negative perspective; a second half of the circle could be from your mother’s perspective, or someone who loves you and knows the “real” you. In the middle of the diagram you can list things that both perspectives may agree on, like your age, height, birthdate, etc.
·         Write an autobiography essay. You may use the 1960’s “hippy” questions: Who am I? Where am I going? Why am I here? Or, you could use the medicine wheel quadrants: emotional, spiritual, intellectual and physical. Or, you could tell your autobiography chronologically: birth, baby, toddler, child, teen… Or, you can invent a new way of telling your story.
·         Using a song, poem, youtube video, joke, drawing, or any creative work, help us get to know you. For example, you may play the song and then explain why that song is important to you and how it represents your identity. Please make jot notes to help you stay focused as you share.
·         Bring a special object from you, like your babybook, a photo album, an heirloom, a blanket, etc. Explain why this object is symbolic of your identity. Please make jot notes to help you stay focused as you share.
·         Other. Create your own.



Day Three (September 3)
Work Period and consider the self-evaluation.

Who Am I? Assignment #1: Self Evaluation                                                         /25

I present myself as a multi-dimensional person.                    1     2     3     4     5
I have lots of details, development or depth.                          1     2     3     4     5
I used my class time productively.                                         1     2     3     4     5
I am happy with my autobiography.                                       1     2     3     4     5
My presentation is between 2 and 5 minutes.                        1     2     3     4     5

OR

Develop your own detailed self-evaluation to match your unique autobiography.   /25



Day Four (September 4)
Form a circle. Discuss the significance of a circle, symbolically, culturally, etc.
Develop norms for circle sharing. Example, one person speaking at a time. Listening respectfully. Imagining, what if it was me sharing, how would I want others to listen?
Share “Who Am I?” assignment in a circle. Note the following options:
·         Students may present their own work.
·         Students may swap autobiographies and present on each other.
·         Student may ask Mrs. Koops to share written work.
·         Students may pass poster around the group and then answer questions.
·         Students may create other forms of presenting with prior negotiations with Mrs. Koops
Hand in your autobiography or a picture of you and your assignment to be used on the Bulletin Board “Introduction to Native Studies: Who Am I?”
Complete self-evaluation and hand in.


Day Five to Day Nine: (September 7-11)
Complete any missing autobiography presentations. (See instructions from Day Four)
Reflect.
·         Why is self-awareness, self-respect, and self-development important?
·         Do you know “everything”? Does Mrs. Koops know everything?
·         What does respect for others look like, sound like, feel like, etc.?
·         Which statement do you prefer? Or, are they both true for you?
o   In order to get respect, you must give respect.
o   I will respect you because of who I am not because of the way you act.

Here are a few suggestions you can use to develop your own voice and style for your blog. First, remember that a blog is a conversation. Try to write the way you speak. Avoid jargon and clichés and don't overuse the thesaurus. It may be helpful to speak your entry out loud before trying to type it or to read it aloud after you've written it. If you find yourself struggling as you read aloud or speaking unnaturally, think about what you might have said if you were talking to a friend rather than writing.
Second, write your blog with a specific friend or family member in mind. Thinking of someone you know well and who might want to read your blog will help you relax your writing style. That's why it's become popular for many people to start personal journal entries with Dear Diary. The goal is to get your writing to sound more like you and less like a lofty essay.
Always consider your audience….
Finally, before you start blogging, spend some time visiting other blogs that are like the one you're thinking of starting. Read one or two for a few weeks and pay attention to things like the length of posts, frequency, writing style, and subject material. You can get some great ideas for your own blog by noting what you find interesting and compelling in other people's blogs. http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/writing-a-good-blog.html
Please highlight your strengths and indicate if you should get a 1 or 2 on that item; then, write a persuasive paragraph on the back of this sheet explaining your mark /20.
