Representing. Choose one option below. Your product should make the main idea clear to a classmate—use labels, captions, or short notes as evidence from the lesson.

Choose one (representing)
  • Storyboard (3 panels): Show three moments from Cuthbert Grant’s story (for example: the journey east as a boy, leaving The Forks with pemmican, or Frog Plain). Short captions only; each panel must show something specific from the lesson.
  • Pemmican how-it-works poster: Draw or diagram how pemmican is made and why it mattered for long travel. Label at least four steps or ingredients from the lesson.
  • Map + mini-legend: Sketch the story places (e.g. Fort Tremblante, Qu’Appelle, The Forks, Frog Plain / Seven Oaks). Add a one-line legend for each label explaining why it mattered.
  • Concept map: Web linking Grant, pemmican, the proclamation, and Seven Oaks. Use arrows and short phrases—not a long paragraph.
  • Tableau: In a small group, freeze a silent pose of one key moment (parley message, holding the column, or helping afterward). Be ready to explain what each person represents.
  • Timeline strip: Draw 4–5 boxes in order from the lesson (proclamation → tension → June 19 → after). One picture and one short caption per box.
  • Multimedia slide or news report (1–3 slides / 1 minute): Report one fact and one open question about the morning at Seven Oaks, using respectful language.
  • Teacher-approved alternate: ________________________________________________
While others share (gallery / table tour)
  • The clearest part of your representation is _________________________________________________________
  • One connection to the lesson is _______________________________________________________________________
  • A respectful upgrade could be _____________________________________________________________________
  • I learned something new about _______________________________________________________________________

Gabriel Dumont: Métis Leader on the Prairies

What: You’ll watch a short video about Gabriel Dumont’s life and leadership, ask him questions in a class chat, then work together to line up the big moments of his story in the right order.

When: The 1800s on the Prairies—the places and communities where Gabriel lived and led.

How: Your teacher will pause for questions as you go; you’ll share ideas as a whole class in the chat, then use the drag-and-drop timeline to decide together which event fits each spot on the line.

Why: Métis leadership and community life on the Prairies are part of Saskatchewan’s story—and putting events in order helps you see how the narrative fits together.
