PROCEDURE
Introduction (Time): 5 mins
Hook/Attention Grabber: What area makes up the Interior Plains of Canada?
Answer:MB, SK, and AB and the territories.
Assessment of Prior Knowledge: Do you know who were some of the first people living
here? Answer: Plains Cree, Siksika, Piikani, and Kaiani. The French Canadiens were the
first settlers.
Expectations for Learning and Behaviour:
During todays lesson, I am going to teach you about two different people who came
from the Interior region. I need you to pay attention to my description, because you will
use the information to guide your next activity. I would encourage you to take notes on
the characteristics I discuss and write down any questions that come to mind. After that
you will work with a partner to complete a venn diagram, but you must remain on task
because you will only have a couple minutes of working time before I will get your
attention. After that we will come together and make one diagram that I will share with
the whole class.
Advance Organizer/Agenda: Prepare the Smartboard by having the map open
Transition to Body: Direct student attention to the map after asking the discussion
questions. Ask if anyone has been to any of the places and think silently for a minute
what these places were like. Leave the map on the board for the duration of the lesson,
until the class comes back together to share.
Body (Time) : 20 mins
Key Questions:
Who first lived on the Interior Plains and what are their stories? (L.O.
#1)
Learning Activity #1: Major Figures Class Discussion (5 mins)
1. Students will listen and contribute answers when called on during
explanation of two important people in the Interior Plains region and their
different lifestyles.
2. I will introduce the coureurs de bois and voyageurs as the first European
people to enter the Interior of Canada. Specifically the explorer Laurent Leroux as
a Francophone Canadien from Montreal. He worked at a fur trading post for a
small company that eventually merged with the North West Company after he
opened two trading posts on the Great lakes area. These trading forts would
eventually become some of the major centers we know today. He travelled
alongside the great explorer Alexander Mackenzie as a fur trader.

3. Next I will introduce the Metis people as some of first people to settle the
interior area. The Metis are responsible for the large and strategically located
settlement on the Assiniboine River. From here they could travel west along the
River to trade, or travel across Lake Winnipeg to gain access to trading routes in
the Canadian Shield. The Metis also made foods like pemmican that they would
sell to travelling fur traders, which become an important source of income.
Another important contribution from the Metis people was the Red River cart
which became a practical way to transport goods.
4. I will ask students if they have any questions at this point
Assessment/Differentiation:
-No assessment, besides prior knowledge
-Student may be given notes about two different individuals to aid in their understanding
-Some students may benefit from other forms of presentation, and therefore could be
given visual and audio supports to explain the two types of people.
Key Questions: What were the different identities that made up the first people to
live Interior Plains? (L.O. #1)
Learning Activity #2: Venn Diagram of Settler vs. Explorer (10 mins)
1. Students will work with a partner and be given a venn diagram sheet
2. Students will use their knowledge about explorers and settlers to create a
venn diagram of similarities and differences between Explorer and Settler
ways of life and roles in settling Canada. They should be reminded to think about:
lifestyle, forms of transportation, occupation, challenges or hardships, and
historical contributions.
3. Students will record their answers in the appropriate area of the venn
diagram
Assessment/Differentiation:
-For students who may not be able to extract information from the text, they may work
independently to research online on a laptop
-If a student is unable to complete both groups, allow them to only explore one or the
other
Key Questions: What were the different identities that made up the first people to
live Interior Plains? (L.O. #1)
Learning Activity #3: Create Class Diagram (5 mins)
*While the students were working I would put the venn diagram onto the Smartboard
1. Students will come back together as a group, and wait quietly until I ask
them for their responses
2. I will ask the class to share their ideas in each category and record their
answers on the board
3. As the students give suggestions, I may comment on how their point
contributed to their identity or the history of Canada

Assessment/Differentiation:
-None
Sponge Activity
-Students should work on any other assignments they have to complete, and if they dont
they could write a letter to someone from the past about questions they have about early
Canada, or write a journal entry about how todays lesson made them consider their own
identity as a Canadian
Closure (5 min):
Consolidation/Assessment of Learning: For L.O. #1 & 2
1. Students will hand in the venn diagrams for formative assessment to
check their understanding
2. Students will complete a quick exit slip for formative assessment by
answering: How have these people impacted the identity of Canada as a
country?
Feedback From Students:
-Questions they may have after the lesson about the two types of people
-The venn diagrams with ideas recorded
-Exit slip with personal considerations and applications
Feedback To Students:
-Thank them for working hard and sharing their ideas with the class
-I will look over their venn diagrams and compile them with the created master list for
the whole class
Transition To Next Lesson:
- When you go home tonight, I want you to look for things that you think
represent the identity of Canada or our culture. Think of where these things came
from, and see if you can find any connections to the historical people we talked
about today
-I will take the students diagrams they completed in partners to record anything that was
not said in class. If I feel that there is important points missing I will include them in the
official copy I will hand the students next class for review.

they end of the lesson (respond to Key Question above, write or display on
board)
2. After they are done they should quietly wait for everyone else to finish
so we can wrap up the lesson
Assessment/Differentiation:
-Student may not be able to fully articulate the answers of the question, therefore I
would just have them write something they learned today

Closure (5 mins):
Consolidation/Assessment of Learning:
1. I will take the students 3-2-1 worksheets as formative assessment and
as a way to track to their learning
2. Students will answer an exit slip question for a formative assessment
for completion and to assess the students learning.
Feedback From Students:
-If they know any traditional Metis cultural items
-The research they completed on their item
Feedback To Students:
-Thank everyone for working hard individually, and then coming together as a group
-I will look over the 3-2-1 sheet and answer your questions either at the beginning of
class, or right on your sheet depending on what they are.
-I look forward to your presentation of your item next class.

My Identity Told by
Due: December 1, 2016

The Sash has always been a symbol of Mtis


culture and were personal stories told through colours and weaving. It
is a multi-functional accessory that the Mtis people recognize as a
symbol of heritage and cultural identity.
Personal artifacts represent an aspect of identity that
symbolize significance to an individual. Your task is to select three
artifacts that you think are powerful representations of your individual
self. These items should reveal an aspect of personal identity through
connections to history, culture, and lifestyle.
You will create a collage or poster of these items with detailed
explanations of what the item is, the purpose or function of the item,
and how it contributes to your unique identity. Some examples of
acceptable artifacts include clothing articles, traditional foods, tools,
instruments, household items, artwork, and recreational items.
Remember! We will be presenting the finished product with the
class, therefore do not include sensitive information you are not
comfortable sharing
Your project MUST include:
Three quality artifacts that powerfully represent your
identity
A title, headings, names and in-depth description of each
artifact and its purpose
Photos or accurate drawings of artifacts with a title
Detailed explanations of how it is a symbol of your history,
culture, and self-identity
Include artifacts that reveal unique or special features,
provide in-depth information, or represent important aspects or
qualities of yourself
Questions to consider when planning:
How does an examination of the past, present and future help to form
citizenship and identity?
How do the expressions of peoples culture, language and society
affect their sense of identity and citizenship?

How do the stories of the Metis and the connections to their identity
relate to your own identity as a Canadian?
Learning Objective: Demonstrate an understanding of the impact of
these artifacts historical contributions and how how they connect to your own
personal lives, communities, and a sense of identity and citizenship as a
Canadian

Rationale - Lesson #2
Within the three lessons of my mini-unit I am introducing students to the different
groups of individuals who shaped the story of Canada. I want students to recognize how
identity is conveyed through artifacts that represent history, culture and self Identity.
My formative assessment tools track the students understanding of the Metis
people and begin to relate the ideas around identity towards themselves. I want to ensure
the students understand the different roles that contribute to Canadas history in order to
recognize distinctions and commonalities between two important groups. By coming
together as a class to create a diagram I will support all students learning by providing the
same notes that they all helped come up with. I could potentially then use as a source to
draw assessment materials from since everyone was involved and has an identical copy.
This ensures construct and content validity by limiting the source of material for the
students. Students will recognize that while the early Canadians had many similarities,
but they also had many defining features that created an identity. The exit slip encourages
them to begin thinking of individual contributions to a larger national identity. As the
students begin to explore cultural artifacts they can begin to make connections to their
own identity and symbols of self. The worksheet is used to guide students research and
consider its implications on the Metis culture and identity.
I want to ensure the content validity is consistent between lessons to improve the
overall validity of the students summative assessment. I want to continually bring

students back to the learning objectives and allow them to recognize the importance of
the cultural artifacts ability to depict history. I have attempted to establish value and
importance of the lesson through connection to personal identity. Students have the
opportunity to bring their own heritage into the classroom and become part of the
learning. This allows them to contribute to the present identity of Canada, by learning
about the past through their own lives. This will be more significant and memorable to
students, and is an inclusive way to incorporate culture into the classroom. The
assignment is fair because it has a broad range of artifact that may be used in any
combination. By engaging with actual artifacts the students are able to expand their
knowledge through research and application that is motivated through a personal
connection.
By frequently checking the students understanding of the information, I am
improving the validity of the answers and the reliability of my assessments. I am able to
give the students timely feedback to ensure they are making the necessary connections to
complete the performance task. In the second lesson, I am able to gain insight into the
students thinking, which I will use to help me introduce the next lesson. Based on what
the students think about the Metis artifacts, I can help clarify and facilitate research into
their own items. Lastly, by having the students present an artifact, it will prepare them for
the considerations they should make when choosing and producing their own identity
through artifacts.
