Discussion Questions

  • Analyze together as a class, how did the stories Thomas King shared about his mother and father influence him?
  • In the first third of the essay, he discusses how personal stories affect our lives, but they generally don’t go beyond us and the people close to us. Now he will move on to creation stories and the impact that they have on cultures and, sometimes, the world.
  • Read/continue listening to 35:05 minutes…two creation stories
  • In groups of 2-4, recreate the story he tells in 7-10 key points in a creative way (playdough, comic, poem, lego) Get ready to explain to the class!
