Representing. Choose one option. Make the main idea clear without a long speech — labels and captions count as evidence.

Choose one (representing)
  • Systems storyboard (3–4 panels): Show how pemmican, routes, and authority connect leading to June 19. Captions must name evidence from the lesson.
  • Pemmican process diagram: Label steps and explain why controlling pemmican meant controlling travel and trade.
  • Annotated map + legend: Fort Tremblante, Qu’Appelle, The Forks, Frog Plain / Seven Oaks, Athabasca idea — one-line legend each.
  • Concept map: Grant ↔ pemmican ↔ proclamation ↔ Seven Oaks ↔ later memory/labels. Use arrows and short phrases.
  • Tableau + caption card: Freeze a key decision point (parley, hold, or restraint after). Caption cites one lesson detail.
  • Perspective split poster: Two columns — company paper trail vs Métis interpretation. Fair, non-sensational wording.
  • Multimedia news brief (1–2 min / 2–4 slides): One claim, two evidence details, one open question about terminology.
  • 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.
