You should be around finishing to the end of Section 5.
When you are done your discussion 5, fill out a pink reflection sheet and hand in with all notes. If you have paper copies of illustrations, staple to reflection sheet and hand in. Email notes on ONE document.
Practice your spoken word! Find a partner and read it out, time it, record it, where can you add the performance piece now? Hand gestures, vocal intonations.
Chief Seattle made a speech to US Congress in 1854, right before he was forced to sign over the title to his land his ancestors had resided on for generations and then having to move onto a government created reserve. In this amazing speech, he eloquently describes his relationship with the land, water, sky, and animals and foreshadows his concerns for the future.
Now let’s watch the video of this amazing poem “The Elders Are Watching” written by David Bouchard and illustrated by Roy Henry Vickers. Write down the good and bad things.
