Reflection
Strongest attribute of the learning activity and why that is valuable to student learning:
By creating an emotional and physical experience around the novel, students are
better able to contextualize and empathize with the experiences of Aboriginal
people.
Uses all six strands of English Language Arts (read, write, listen, speak, view,
represent).
Students are engaging in reading that is both efferent and critical (and hopefully
aesthetic).
What might be a challenge to successful learning with this literature and activity:
There is quite a lot of student involvement required, so if students are uninterested in
the activity they will not get as much out of it. It is also challenging because the book
touches on a lot of difficult topics, and students may feel uncomfortable addressing
them.
