Connecting - Resilience - Indigenous Truth & Reconciliation Gr 5-7 Workbook

Truth & Reconciliation is part of Canadian culture and history, yet the knowledge gap is large, and these workbooks will help remedy that.  This workbook is the culmination of the combined efforts of 8 Indigenous authors, artists and Classroom Ready. It serves to provide a resource that includes high-quality lessons and activities, consisting of topics that can be used by someone with little or no prior knowledge or understanding of Indigenous subjects or Peoples.

CRITR (Connecting-Resilience-Indigenous Truth & Reconciliation) workbook features:

• Indigenous knowledge from different Indigenous Peoples and Indigenous perspectives
• Dozens of lessons covering important topics including Residential Schools, Treaties, and Indigenous contributions
• Beautiful original art on the covers and throughout the book
• An Indigenous worldview expressing people's need to develop themselves and their children, in a way that addressed their spirtual, physical, emotional, and mental gifts
• An approach to the teaching and healing process that is interconnected and cyclical in nature
• An introduction to readers of the concept of a "sacred circle", also known as a medicine wheel, as well as First Peoples' principles of learning in general terms
• Words of encouragement
• Information and a layout to inform and inspire without overwhelming the teacher or the student, in the classroom or at home, with a balance between too much and too little content
• Fresh insights and learning activities for key Indigenous events that are celebrated annually in schools and communities across the nation
• Critical thinking questions to inspire new learning
• Activities for individuals and groups

The subjects have been presented clearly but with sensitivity and at an age-appropriate level.  This workbook is geared to a grade 5-7 reading level. The font is ideal for younger readers and features shorter sentence structure for easy reading and comprehension. It is also available in a grade 8 to 10 reading level. Please note, these reading levels do not limit the resource to those grades, but rather accommodate the readers reading level.
