General Lesson Plan Two 14 of people in various sections of society. Ask how many role models they named are People of Colour. How many of those are Indigenous? Answers will vary. Inform the class that for too long Indigenous people have been represented in the media either using harmful stereotypes or not at all. However, today, that is changing, and Indigenous people are represented more positively in media and in all facets of society. Inform the class that today they will have the opportunity to learn about an Indigenous role model using Future Pathways Fireside Chat Videos. ACQUIRE: FUTURE PATHWAYS FIRESIDE CHATS VIDEOS Choose a Fireside Chats video to show the class as a whole-class example. Examples: •Activism/Education: Christine M'Lot, Teacher •Arts/Graphic Arts: Monique Aura Bedard, Art Maker •Athletes/Sports and Recreation: Richard Pellissier-Lush, Collegiate Athlete •Business and Entrepreneurship: Jessica Dumas, Life Coach •Community Development: Diane Roussin, Non-Profit Project Director •Computer Science: Dallas Wapash-Flett, Video Game Designer •Culture: Curtis Clearsky, Food Relations Coordinator •Elected Ocials: Senator Yvonne Boyer, Senator •Entertainment: Dakota Bear, Hip-Hop Artist and Activist •Health and Science: Taylar Belanger, Traditional Herbalist •Skilled Trades: Raven Beardy, Pilot Debrief the video by asking the class the following questions: 1.Where is this role model from? 2.What type of education does this role model have? 3.What does this role model do as a job or career? 4.What was a source of inspiration for this role model? 5.What interesting fact did you learn about this role model? 6.Does this role model have some of the qualities you wrote about with your partner? Which ones? Next, using the "Indigenous Role Model Examples" reproducible, share a few examples of Indige- nous role models' students may want to learn from and research further. Finally, encourage students to use their own devices to explore the Fireside Chat website at https://www.firesidechats.ca Students will choose a role model they want to learn more about. Students may have to watch a few videos or read a few stories before they decide who they want to present on. APPLY: INDIGENOUS ROLE MODEL PRESENTATION Once students have selected a role model they want to present on, review the "Presentation Checklist" together as a class so students know how they will be graded. Inform students that they will create their own 3–5-minute presentation on their chosen role model. Students may choose the style of presentation such as a poster or a PowerPoint presentation. Students will research the following key points: 1.Early Life 2.Educational Journey 3.Career/Job Description
