English 10
Today we started off class by examining aboriginal themed mascots and discussing whether or not they are appropriate. We also reviewed what we read about on Friday and focused on the picture on pg 57. Then we discussed the assignment and students were directed to work on part 1. Here are the instructions.
Aspects of Identity Assignment
Part 1:
On a piece of plain
white paper, draw a portrait of yourself that shows two different sides of your
identity. The portrait doesn’t need to
be perfect (you can use a stick figure if you want), but include details like
different clothing, accessories, articles you are holding that symbolize the
conflicting side of yourself or conflicting roles you play. Labels and other
points of comparison should be used to mimic the picture Junior draws of
himself. Examples of conflicting
identities: jock/A student, parent
friendly version/peer friendly version, city girl/farm girl, Canadian/American,
dream/expectations, the “real” you/how others perceive you etc.
Part 2:
Add speech and thought
bubbles to your drawing to show how you think and talk when you are playing both
of the “roles” you’ve portrayed in your drawing.
First Nations 12
Today we discussed whether or not the Chicotin War was actually a war or if Bute Island Massacre is more of an appropriate description for the conflict in 1864.
We completed notes on the following. See pg. 84 in your text book.
Who?
Where?
When?
What?
Why? (causes)
Outcomes
Students were also asked to write answers to the following on the topic:
- What is the most appropriate description - war or massacre? What is your reasoning?
- Who won the war? What is your reasoning?
