Students will examine the Residential School system and policies, which existed in Canada and how the Residential School experience affected health and wellness in Aboriginal students and thus communities. Students will also analyze the contemporary effects of these policies in Aboriginal communities. Introductory Activity Write the words HEALTH and WELLNESS on the board. In small groups or partners, have students develop a “mind map” that focuses on how an individual or community can achieve health and wellness. Students may use large sheets of paper for this activity. What elements are needed for individuals or communities to feel that they are healthy? What resources or cultural aspects need to be present? Once students have completed their mind maps, post the maps around the
room and discuss. What were some of the similarities or differences that
students noted? Make sure the above questions are addressed in detail. |
