Indigenous Exploration Project Reflection:
- My experience creating this project was fun and enjoyable. I learned a few new things about the Kamloops residential school as well as the first nations territory it is on. It was fun to make the podcast because we could be a bit creative with it.
- My group and I chose two topics which we wanted to research about and then we came together to join all the information. I also used the websites the librarian gave us to help research.
- While recording, we went through a bit of obstacles. It was a bit difficult to get a perfect recording the first time because we all had giggles. We had to record about 4 times until we got the perfect one. While recording the podcast, I learned how to connect a microphone to my laptop, using an app.
- Critical Thinking:
Some of the information about the Kamloops residential school I already knew about, but there were many new things I learned. From doing this project, I learned about the first nations territory that the Kamloops Residential school sits on, as well as the languages they speak. After finding all these facts and information, the story from Evelyn Camille who went to the residential school, has affected my thinking. What she said about the school was heartbreaking and now that I have heard from someone who went to the school it expands my idea of residential schools.
