Lesson One: Sateana Goupil 70 •Characteristics of a Mentor •Examples of a Mentor •The Role of Elders in Indigenous Communities •Giving Back to the Community Teams can either write or draw as many ideas, concepts, terms, or responses they can think of. This part is done for a short amount of time, such as 2 minutes. Once their time is up, teams will rotate to the next station. Teams will now repeat the same process at each station. Teams will rotate until they have contributed to every station. Eventually, every team will get back to their original station. Back at their original stations, teams will read and review all the contributions made. Lastly, teams will work to summarize all the ideas written on their sheet. Members may look for main ideas, supporting ideas, overlapping ideas, similarities and/or dierences. As a team, they will form a summary statement of their station. Each team will then present their summary statement to the whole class. Presentations should only be around 1-2 minutes long. ASSESS: GROUP EVALUATION After students are done presenting, handout the "Group Evaluation Form". Each student will provide feedback to their teacher about how well each member in their group worked and give them a score out of 15. Next, assign the following questions as a self-reflective paragraph writing assignment. Students will use the following questions to reflect back on their learning, apply the new concepts to their own life, and make connections between knowledge from class and the real world. Reflection Writing Questions: 1.Who is a mentor in your life and why do you consider them a mentor? Explain what skills and values they may have helped you develop. 2.Have any mentors in your life impacted on what career you want to do one day? Explain. The mind mapping is a form of formative assessment. Teachers will be able to check students' prior knowledge about mentorship, roles of mentors, leadership, and roles of Elders. Teachers can assess group learning and student communication skills. The debriefing questions after Sateana's interview with Fireside Chats is a form of formative assessment. Teachers will be able to check what students took away from Santeana's video and make connections to the other parts of the lesson. The Mentorship Rotational Grati Presentations is a summative assessment. Students will be assessed through peer group evaluation. Each student will give each member of their group a mark out of 15. Students will evaluate each other's work ethic during the rotational grati stage, creating the summary, and how well they worked together. The reflection writing is a summative assessment. Students will be assessed by the teacher through a reflection writing rubric. Students will be given a mark out of 15. TAKE STUDENT LEARNING FURTHER Activity: Elder Classroom Visit For students who are showing a keen interest in the topic of mentors, you may want to invite an Elder to the classroom to speak about leadership, mentorship, or how they pass on knowledge. Elders are very important members of Indigenous communities. In Anishinaabe and Red River Metis communities, Elders are seen as knowledge keepers and are highly respected. The term Elder refers to someone who has attained a high degree of understanding of their communities history, traditional teachings, ceremonies, and more. Elders have earned the right to pass on their knowledge and to give advice and guidance.
