Specific Expectations
Metacognition
C4.1
describe several different strategies they used before, during, and after reading texts from and/or related to First Nations, Métis, and Inuit cultures, explain which ones they found most helpful, and identify several specific steps they can take to improve as readers (e.g., record their use of various strategies to help them identify the ones they find most helpful; describe similarities and differences in the strategies they use to read a workplace incident report and a creation story)
- What pre-reading strategy did you use before starting your independent reading of the report about community safety? Did it help you understand the report more clearly? Why, or why not?
- What effect did small-group discussions have on the predictions you made about the story? How was this strategy helpful?
Interconnected Skills
C4.2
identify several different skills they have in listening, speaking, writing, viewing, and representing, and explain how these skills help them read texts from and/or related to First Nations, Métis, and Inuit cultures more effectively (e.g., describe how preparing written questions before reading informational texts can help them interpret key points; describe how listening to oral stories can help them understand written texts of the same stories)
- How did viewing a webcast about residential schools broaden your understanding of the character's struggles in the short story?
