Lesson #3

Lesson #3

This is a lesson that focuses on way of life. The students will research a way of life for a certain First Nations group and fill out a given template. The idea of this assignment is for the students to gain as much knowledge as they can about a particular group of people and their way of life. In addition, it will be a hidden way of teaching the students the importance of oral tradition as many forms of ways of life are not in any literature but primarily through story telling.
