Lesson 60

 

 We opened the class with a couple of questions, and a brief look at this article, and history of mercury poisoning in Grassy Narrows.

We watched a video of Dimaline talking with Shelagh Rogers.

We watched another video of Dimaline talking with Jully Black for Canada reads.

We talked through some key quotes for the last chapter, then we read "Miigwans' Coming-To Story."

Students will have some time at the start of our next class to continue their character notes.

Students should be thinking about key themes - big ideas seen throughout the novel, and represented differently in the stories of each character. Many of these big ideas were present in the interviews we looked at today.
