In this image, it shows 3 men being carried by 3 women inside the podium. All 3 of the women facial expressions shows that they aren’t wanting do hold them up while the 3 men are up their smiling without acknowledging them or giving credit to the women. It shows that women might be doing all the hard work behind the scenes but because they are men, people will assume they are “successful” or “more hard working”. The picture is also trying to represent that women always have to be below men and that if you’re a man you get more respect and glory.
This image connects to respect because it shows that not everyone will get respect even if they deserve it and some people such as women will have it harder even if they are a good person.
In the photo, Christian plays Mitch who gets taken by the recruiters (Char and Isaac). The recruiters are pointing at Mitch to show they found/caught Mitch. It fits the plot point because Mitch sacrifices himself in the beginning of the book, so Frenchie doesn’t get taken too. This event is also what starts off Frenchie’s journey which is another reason why it fits the exposition since that’s what makes the story start.
Image 2: In this scene Christian is playing Miigwans, Char is playing Minerva and Isaac is playing Frenchie. This takes place in the middle of a forest. In this tableau Frenchie is found very sick by Miig and Minerva. They help him by taking care of him and feeding him until he is healthy.
Image 3: In the scene where Riri dies, it is the rising action. The scene shows linc choking riri, and a tree in the back. Christian is playing riri, isaac is playing linc, and char is playing a tree. The setting is a cliff on a mountain.
Image 4: In the photo, Frenchie (Isaac) and Miig (Christian) are sleeping in an abandon barn while Minerva (Char) sacrifices herself by moving the ladder and leaving to show herself. Minerva played by char, is walking away while Frenchie and Miig played by Christian and Isaac are sleeping. This fits the plot point because it’s a rising action and an event that happened before the climax. This event is what made the climax build up to what happened.
Image 5: In this image Christian is playing a tree, Char is playing Frenchie’s dad and Isaac is playing Frenchie. This takes place in a forest outside of a sweat lodge. In this scene Frenchie finds his dad after many years of not meeting him. This scene fits the plot because it’s close to the climax and after this scene the book has many important things happening.
Image 6: This scene is played by Char (Minerva), Christian (Rose) and Isaac (Frenchie). This scene takes place on a road by the forest. In this scene the group finds the van that Minerva is in. They manage to free her but she dies. This fits the climax because it was a major event of the book.
Image 7: This scene is played by Char (Minerva), Christian (Rose) and Isaac (Frenchie). This scene takes place in a forest. This is shortly after Minerva dies. Rose and Frenchie choose to cut their hair in honour of Minerva. this event fits the plot because it was after the climax but it wasn’t the ending.
Image 8: In the scene where Isaac is playing Isaac, Christian is playing Miig, and Char is playing Rose. This scene shows Isaac and Miig reuniting after being apart for a while. This scene takes place in a forest and is the concluding part of the story. it fits the plot because it was the ending to the book with still a important event.
My experience creating this assignment was researching and writing a script because I have done a lot of projects in the past that required a lot of researching and finding facts to put a presentation (in this case a podcast) together and then making a script. Another thing I have experienced was researching/ learning about indigenous people and their past on what has happened to them.
Our path in researching this topic was looking for websites that tell us the information we need such as facts about the school we chose (Alberni Indian Residential School) and kind of splitting apart facts to make it easier to find for example, we would each search up different things and work on a certain topic like and combined them together at the end.
Some obstacles we faced when recording was stuttering a lot or messing up words because for me I had a hard time reading and pronouncing words out loud or I would read the words wrong in my head. Another struggle we had was learning how to use Audacity because we both never used it before and we had a hard time editing our audio but eventually we figured out most of the basics and tried our best.
Core Competency (critical thinking)
Our artifact (residential schools) ties in with what I learned before because every year in school we would talk about the history of indigenous people who had to face residential schools and how much it affected them and there families and doing this project I got to dig deeper into some of the details like learning about one specific school and what it was like. My thinking has changed because I would put it into better perspective on the struggles they went through and what made my thinking change was by reading more about details I never heard of before and thinking what it be like if I was them.
