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)
  • Diorama: Build one scene from the lesson (making pemmican, the parley at Frog Plain, or Grantown). Add a short caption card with at least two lesson details. No graphic violence.
  • Visual display: Create an illustrated report, infographic, diagram, pamphlet, or annotated map about pemmican, routes, authority, and Seven Oaks. Label at least three lesson-specific details.
  • Artistic interpretation: Design a collage, storyboard, or original artwork that highlights a theme from the lesson (pemmican as livelihood, the peace message, or contested memory). Include short captions citing lesson evidence.
  • Multimedia presentation: Use presentation software or a short newscast to explain one idea from the lesson. State one claim, two evidence details, and one open question. Keep language respectful.
  • Dramatic tableau: Plan a role play that ends in a frozen tableau, or a short dramatization of one moment (sending Boucher forward, holding the column, or restraint afterward). Be ready to say what each person shows and which lesson detail grounds the pose.
  • Teacher-approved alternate: ________________________________________________

  • The clearest part of your representation is _________________________________________________________
  • One connection to the lesson is _______________________________________________________________________
  • A respectful upgrade could be _____________________________________________________________________

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.
