English 10

We started off class working on run-on sentences. We then read and discussed the story "Borders" by Thomas King. We also discussed the history of Aboriginal people in Canada to help us understand the political themes in the story. I showed some video clips explaining Residential Schools, and a clip of the NFB documentary "You are on Indian Land". Students then completed questions and a characterization worksheet. We will finish the booklet next class.
