CBC Digital Archives – Current Aboriginal Issues – mod3 post1

CBC Digital Archives is built by the CBC Radio-Canada Digital Archives team composed of archivists and educational writers across Canada. They have put together lesson plans targeted for 6-12 using topics and audio/video clips to represent a range of themes of historical importance to Canadians. In addition to focusing on significant moments, events and figures, an effort is made to represent a range of time periods (1920s to 2000) and regions of Canada.

You may link to the Home Page or internal pages of the CBC Digital Archives Web site, but may not link directly to images or media clips, copy any of the material, or give the appearance that any of our content is a part of any other website. Most of the images, audio, video and text on this site is the property of CBC and Radio-Canada, or have been acquired with permission for use on this site.

This particular page archives.cbc.ca/for_teachers/525/called “Current Aboriginal Issues” has a webquest in the form of a pdf.

CSS Podcasts: First Nations Defense Assignment (DGM Module 2-5)

http://calgaryscienceschool.blogspot.com/2009/09/css-podcasts-first-nations-defense.html

Calgary Science School teacher, Neil Stephenson, has posted this blog entry, describing a social studies assignment he has used with his Grade 7 students. Embedded in the blog are YouTube videos of an explanation of the assignment and a student’s final product, and PDFs of the assignment resources that Stephenson used. It is important to keep in mind that this is primarily a history lesson, but one through which the teacher is attempting to develop empathy on the part of his students for First Nations peoples subjected to colonialism and Eurocentrism. The danger with this type of activity is that students may end up with a romanticized and out-dated image of First Nations peoples. This is somewhat evident in the embedded student video. I wonder if a good companion assignment would be to talk with First Nations elders, to explore what they would say now in a similar situation.
