Aboriginal Project –
Components
Goals:
a) to learn specific details of a
Canadian Aboriginal group and teach these to the class in a creative or
‘experiential’ way.
b) to work collaboratively in a small
group.
|
Components
1.
Speaking – use cue cards to help you teach about specific
aboriginal cultural facts and information. Use these with your ppt.
2.
Technology – create a MS Power-point slide show, with
animations and transitions stating main headings and sub-headings.
- use ppt with your cue cards.
3.
2-dimentional part – each student will find or create one or more
pieces to add to the project in a display of some sort. Combine all your
2-dimensional pieces on a stand-up or flat poster board.
~Examples:
a colored drawing of a piece of aboriginal art, of a traditional tool; a
printout of an important animal, people dancing,…
4.
3-dimensional
part – each student will construct
or make some type of relevant hands-on object or replicated artifact.
~Examples:
a diorama; a model of a drum, tee-pee, inuksuk, tool, piece clothing,
traditional weapon, totem pole, or a porcupine quill… and describe their
importance and usage. Do the ART activity on page 30!
~
Students who study ‘food’ could bake / cook a small sample for display and
share the recipe (like bannock, soapberry ice cream, moose stew,...).
5.
Audio/Video – one student per group will be responsible for
‘music and dance’ section. This student will link a short video clip to share in his/her ppt presentation. Aboriginal
ART and other clip art will also be shown.
