E4. Reflecting on Skills and Strategies
Specific Expectations
Metacognition
E4.1
explain which of a variety of strategies they found most helpful in interpreting and creating media texts on subject matter related to First Nations, Métis, and Inuit cultures, then evaluate their areas of greater and lesser strength as media interpreters and producers and identify the steps they can take to improve their skills (e.g., identify successful and less successful examples of interpretive and creative tasks they carried out, describe the strategies they used, and explain which strategies worked well and what they would do differently another time)
- How has your strategy of recording First Nations, Métis, and Inuit content on different media outlets to determine frequency and type of coverage influenced your approach to interpreting media productions? What similar strategy might you use in other contexts?
- How helpful did you find peer feedback when you were making a shortlist of photos to use in your collage? When, or in what way, might the strategy of seeking feedback be counterproductive?
Interconnected Skills
E4.2
identify a variety of skills they have in listening, speaking, reading, and writing, and explain, with increasing insight, how these skills help them interpret and create media texts on subject matter related to First Nations, Métis, and Inuit cultures more effectively (e.g., explain how analysing newspaper articles can help them develop the structure and content of an online petition about the federal government’s response to an Inuit concern; describe the listening skills they drew on to create an effective video interview)
- How did your listening and speaking skills help you develop a short video about Métis families in urban settings?
