PADDLING CANOES
Exploring local flora & fauna, Indigenous culture, and so much more!
INTRODUCTION
This unit plan is intended to work in partnership with the local Songhees, Esquimalt, or W̱SÁNEĆ Nations to share stories and cultural practices. Modifications will be necessary to avoid cultural appropriation if representatives of the Nations are not available to visit the classroom.
This unit is part of an inquiry approach to curriculum, where students will dive deeply into a topic; lessons are fully multi-disciplinary and curriculum is spiraled throughout the year to maximize learning and retention.
The linked PDF includes a zoomed-out Unit Plan overview, links to resources, Flora/Fauna cards (created by Ruth Esteves), and two lesson plans!
