Lesson Three: Niigaan Sinclair 183 APPLY: ARTICLE ANALYSIS Distribute Niigaan's Winnipeg Free Press article "Students or Slaves? Work at Residential Schools Under Fire". Inform students that this type of article is called an editorial. Editorials are opinion pieces that have the power to change people's understanding of the world, influence public opinion and ultimately lead to meaningful action. 11 Have students read the article either together as a class or individually. Next, have students analyze the article using the "Article Analysis" worksheet and write a one- page reflection by answering the following prompt: How has reading this article impacted your understanding of residential schools in Canada? How does this learning connect to other parts of the lesson today (i.e., The quiz and Niigaan's interview)? Use the "Reflection Rubric" to grade students writing. ASSESS: The "Indigenous History Quiz" activity is a form of formative assessment. This activity will enable teachers to assess prior knowledge about Indigenous history in Canada. The debriefing questions after Niigaan's interview with Fireside Chats is a form of formative assessment. Teachers will be able to check students' comprehension of the topics discussed in the video. The article response and reflection are a form of summative assessment. Teachers will be able to assess students' writing and connections to other parts of the lesson. 11 Schulten, Katherine.
