When you are creating your post with the reflection, keep the following in mind:

This assignment touches upon the following BIG IDEA, from the BC curriculum…
– Exploring stories and other texts helps us understand ourselves and make connections to others and to the world.

This assignment will also…
– Develop an awareness of the diversity within and across First Peoples societies represented in texts
– Use and experiment with oral storytelling processes.
– Transform ideas and information to create original texts.

For your blog post:

  • Category = English 9
  • TAG = COLpodcast24
  • Make sure your post is PUBLISHED!! DO NOT JUST SAVE IT IN DRAFT OR PREVIEW!!! TURN-IN THE PUBLISHED POST LINK TO TEAMS BY THURSDAY NIGHT
  • Instructions for building the post:

EACH of you will create a blog post with your Podcast – your post should have the ‘deliverables’ in this order:

    • 1. Title of the post = Indigenous Exploration – “the topic/issue you chose”
    • 2. An introductory sentence introducing your topic and the names of the people you worked with, and the technology you used
    • 3. the Podcast embed of the MP3 file (share with the group through One Drive)
    • 4. Individually, write a reflection based on the following:
      • A general discussion/reflection on:
        a. Your experiences creating this assignment
        b. Your group’s path or journey from start to final product in researching the topic
        c. Obstacles or items you learnt in recording; interesting insights, connections made?
      • Then, reflect on one of the below core competency questions:

Option 1: Critical Thinking … How does your artifact (audio recording) tie in with what you have learned/knew before about the topic/issue? How has your thinking changed? What made it change?
Option 2: Communication … What are some ways that you use to communicate your learning?
Option 3: Positive and Personal Cultural Identity…What are some aspects you value about this culture, as well as your own? What valuable connections might exist?

Here is a document that can help you with the Core Competencies reflection: Core-Competency-Reflection-Guide-English-9-COL
