Haida Hot Dog
Hello, Haida Hot Dog. Love that alliteration. Why did I choose you, Haida Hot Dog? Because you made me feel warm and fuzzy and you made me laugh. It’s basic, 14 year old boy humour. But then I looked closer at you, and I saw your ovoid shape, the Haida colours, the raven, and I began to reflect. What are you about? What are you trying to say? This is what I like in drama, my go – to favourite thing: to laugh and then think about it. You’ve got to engage your viewer, if you want to talk about tough stuff. That’s the hook of your lesson. That’s how I plan my classes – the invitation to learn, the lesson, and the reflection. So I’m hooked cause you’re familiar looking and just kinda funny for whatever reason, the lesson is what you’re trying to say to Aboriginals and Westerners, and the reflection is me, sitting here, thinking about you and what you’re trying to tell me.
