Canadian Aboriginal group and teach these to the class in a creative or
‘experiential’ way.
b) to work collaboratively in a small
group.

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.

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,…

part – each student will construct
or make some type of relevant hands-on object or replicated artifact.

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.
