In Spring 2013 during in my PSII teaching term, I taught an Aboriginal Studies course at Wilson Middle School in Lethbridge Alberta. One of the units we worked on was loosely based on the ideas from Project Care & Project of Heart. The students watched the CBC program 8th Fire, and it was from Episode two entitled It's Time, where the students and I journeyed to explore what it meant to celebrate and honour the lives of those Residential School students who did not make it home from these institutions.
The students were then given the opportunity to plan, create, and then transfer their ideas onto a tile which they painted.The pictures below represent the tiles that the students created!!
