LKDSB
educators have access to a new reading resource.Look for the Classroom Set for each
grade.
(Note: Size
Up!! Kindergarten: Set 1, Gr. 1: Set 2,
Gr.2: Set 3, etc.)
The Under One Sun resource invites K-8 students and teachers
to learn about, and learn from Indigenous history, culture and
perspectives.
Each student text was written by Indigenous authors and Indigenous artists
created the illustrations.
The Classroom Set includes a detailed Teacher Guide. Included are a Read Aloud, a Shared Reading
and Guided Reading Lessons. The
structure of each lesson: Before, During and After activities and discussion prompts. Lessons focus on Literacy Strategies: Visualizing,
Making Connections, Inferences, etc.
Six titles with six copies of Student Texts (Books,
Cards, or Magazines) are included in each Classroom Set. The Leveled texts can be used for Guided
Reading and or Independent Reading.
Reconciliation
Connections: a suggestion for
connecting to reconciliation through discussion or activities is provided in
each lesson.
Indigenous Themes are explored throughout Under One Sun:
Identity: The theme of identity explores how
people-Indigenous and non-Indigenous- think about and define themselves.
Connections to Mother Earth: This theme explores
each person’s relationship with Mother Earth, the source of all life.
Relationships: Through the theme of relationships
readers explore the importance of each person’s connection to other people, as
well as to all creatures on Mother Earth.
Additional resources, including video, audio, images, and
curriculum connections can be found at the Online Teaching Centre.
