General Assessment
Strengths
- The quality of the movie excerpts.
- The suggested activities are interesting. They encourage students to take a critical thinking approach. They help students identify the issues regarding the history and origins of Aboriginal Peoples.
Weaknesses
- Poor quantity of background information provided.
To enhance this resource the following changes are strongly recommended:
- This resource is on Aboriginal perspectives; it would be nice to have it taught the way it would be taught by Aboriginal Peoples. For instance, it could include some out-of-doors activities and have the students relate with nature and the land in the ways of Aboriginal Peoples.
- Students could be empowered through action projects and the analysis of local events in their community.
- Tools for self-evaluation should be included.
- More background information for the teachers and students would be beneficial to help them explore all the different perspectives on this topic.
