Grade 8 Social Studies
Story Board Assignment
Mrs. Orendorff
Envision yourself as an Aboriginal person or an European settler who have been living peacefully together for a number of months (at least 2 seasons). Make a story board of cultural exchange from either party to the other. It can be as simple as teaching the other group a style of cooking or something more complex. Your poster needs to demonstrate an understanding of the people and their way of life.
Using different resources (primary or secondary) come up with a cultural exchange you feel you can capture in 4-6 screen shots. Use the heritage moment of making maple syrup that we viewed in class as an example. Along with your story board type out a brief synopsis of the cultural exchange that you have portrayed.
Mark Breakdown
