| Aboriginal Peoples: Building For The Future Activities contains student activities and accompanies the grade 10 text, Aboriginal Peoples: Building For the Future. The text is organized into three units with a total of 37 chapters. Topics as diverse as elders, residential schools, life in the cities, the arts, as well as land claims and self-government are explored in the Canadian context. Each chapter contains a wealth of information in the form of primary source quotations, photographs, works of art, graphs and charts, and text. This student activity book supports the text and is designed for the classroom by providing teachers and students with at least one activity for each chapter. The activities are designed for completion in a classroom setting and are directly related to the text readings. In fact, no additional or extension activities or resources are included. For example, in chapter 10 students focus on Art. The suggested activity relates to a reading about repatriation of museum artifacts. Students are encouraged to complete a chart by listing the benefits and drawbacks of returning artifacts to their rightful owners. The second suggested activity asks students to write a 100-200 word speech arguing for or against the return of First Nations artifacts. The text, Aboriginal Peoples Building for the Future is suitable for students in grade 6 to 10. The Activity book comes shrink-wrapped and three-hole punched. |
