Description
Designed to enhance students’ appreciation of the diversity of First Nations perspectives in the province, B.C. First Nation Studies 12 explores First Nations individuals and cultures in contemporary and historical contexts.
The course is aligned with the learning outcomes included in the 2006 BC First Nations Studies Integrated Resource Package, and also addresses the most recent provincial exam specifications.
Maintaining a modular, learner-centred structure, this course uses multiple resources for students to learn about B.C. Online students have access to interactive multimedia components that help explain key concepts.
Print based students may also access these resources using B.C. First Nations Studies: Perspectives, a companion CD-ROM. The CD includes an interactive treaty simulation activity, profiles of Aboriginal authors in Canada, and video interviews with individuals involved in a variety of Aboriginal initiatives throughout the province.
The B.C. First Nations Studies 12 Source File is a supplementary print-based resource that includes poems, articles, stories and excerpts from a wide variety of contexts, all of which are designed to complement the course content.
The B.C. First Nations Studies 12 course website provides numerous supplementary resources available online.
Each of the four modules of B.C. First Nations Studies 12 has two tests available that are similar in format to the Provincial Examination.
