Today, we began a synthesis activity that will carry us through several lessons, as we are going to view a film, read an informational text piece and read two poems, and then synthesize our findings. Our topic of exploration is the experience of Aboriginal people with residential schools, in Canada and Australia.
We began watching Rabbit-Proof Fence today, and I asked students to make note of significant events, characters and their emotions, conflicts, and themes. We will finish the film and discuss it in Thursday's class.
See... I promised you we'd watch a movie, and we did!
