Residential Residential

AFTER: (CONSOLIDATING LEARNING):
12.Remind the students that Mr. Harper apologized on behalf of Canadians and the
Canadian government in 2008. We have only seen a short snippet of his apology. Based
on the long-term consequences you’ve identified today, and thinking about resilience,
could you predict what the Prime Minister could or should say to the First Nation
survivors?
13.As an “exit card”, have each student select one of the long-term consequences on their
organizers (e.g., five generations of broken families) and write a sentence or two as if
they were the Prime Minister apologizing to the resilient survivors in the First Nation
community depicted in the Residential Schools video (or to Kookum directly, if easier).
This will give students an opportunity:
a. to show they understand the long-term consequence
b. to show they understand the point of view of the survivors (resilience)
c. to set them to up to analyze the real apology and their possible responses
14.A basic sentence starter or framework could be: To Kookum: I apologize to you for
________________. Despite this, you have shown resilience by ________________.
ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION:
The teacher could collect the students’ apology sentences and provide feedback about their
achievement of the two success criteria.
