Description
These picture book studies that focus on Indigenous stories are great for Orange Shirt Day, National Indigenous Day, or as an addition to your Social Studies curriculum. Introduce students to Residential Schools and First Nations, Métis and Inuit cultures through meaningful literature activities. These interactive read aloud units will be a fantastic addition to your Reader’s Workshop.
The books facilitate great discussions and allow students to dive deep into the histories and cultures of Indigenous peoples.
Students are able to relate to characters in a book so much more than little paragraphs in a textbook. Therefore, reading stories about residential schools and First Nations, Métis and Inuit cultures helps to build empathy and understanding in our students.
The illustrations in these books are quite captivating and will help your English Language Learners to develop a more complete understanding of Social Studies concepts.
