Echoes of colonization

After writing notes, discussing with my group and making a keynote, I have presented infront of grade 11s

So we came back from spring break(Very sad day) which means new humanities project. So this new humanities project was basically a part 2 of Bon Voyage. It did focus on the consequences, but this project focused more on the indigenous peoples of Canada.

 

What we did over the last few weeks

So one of the first things we did was learn about craft and for this project, we mainly made notes on our readings on craft. Craft is an app on our iPads which can be used as a documents app, a notetaking app, and a scheduling and more. So what we mainly learned about were a few treaties like the Indian act. We also learned about the extinction of the beaothuk people.

the final product

The final product of this project was a keynote presentation that we had to present to BCFP grade 11s and it was in a group. I was in a group with Milaina and Aiden. We basically did our own research on topics we were interested in, like I chose politics and Aiden chose health.

 

My individual presentation reflection and my answer to the driving question

So in addition to making and presenting a group presentation, we had to make a individual presentation which is your answer to the driving question, the criteria for the presentation was very weird because we only had to put in 3 words per slide. So my answer to the driving question was intergenerational trauma, intergenerational trauma can be a very hard thing to define, it can be passed down in literal DNA or through traumatic events, like residential schools, the students there experienced abuse and how it can be passed down is the victim’s behaviour or actions. So that is my answer to the driving question
