We completed Rabbit-Proof Fence today, and discussed our questions and observations, once it was completed.
I distributed a package to read over the weekend, about the experiences of First Nations people in residential schools in Canada. I asked students to make note of important points, conflicts, themes, emotions... just as we did with the film. Begin to think about similarities between the two. We will add two poems written by a First Nations poet as our final source before synthesizing, next week.
If you were absent, you can access the readings here: http://www.sd61.bc.ca/edsrvs/ANED/educationalResources/ResidentialSchools/Secondary_Residential_School_Tips_for_Teaching_Controversial_Issues.pdf The readings are pages 4-10.
