Sorry that I have been out of the loop lately, due to personal reasons (family tragedy). I am dealing with it, talking and staying close with my family members. This is so key when someone loses a family member, is the support. Family support is so incredibly important when this tragedy happens. I am grateful that I have that. I will it at that.....
So back to my wacky world of the Web Quest assignment. I had mentioned before what is was going to be about. I would like to elaborate it on a little more. The Web Quest source will teach students that not all First Nations people in Canada had the same kind of dwelling/ housing prior to European contact. The assumption of mainstream society is that all First Nations people lived in teepees, however this is not the case. The main focus of this lesson is to teach the students five different types of First Nations dwellings in different parts of Canada. Anthropologists and scientists have categorized six major cultural regions that the First Nations people inhabit throughout Canada. The six major cultural regions will be identified within the Web Quest page. This will be the website that I will refer to; http://www.canadiangeographic.ca/atlas/themes.aspx?id=first&sub=first_cultures_subarctic&lang=En.
These five types of dwellings will be categorized with each of the six cultural regions within this Web Quest.
I have utilized the Saskatchewan Curriculum Native Studies 10 at; http://www.sasklearning.gov.sk.ca/docs/native10/index.html#Soc.
First Nations dwellings/housing is a major part of First Nation identity, culture, and worldview. For my next blog I will be sharing a concept map on my topic for the Web Quest assignment.
