Curricular Competencies Reflection
For this assignment we learned how in some First Nations texts, they use nature to represent different struggles and victories through life. Going up a steep hill is difficult, representing the struggle to get past an obstacle. But there is the flat bit at the top of the hill, once we’ve gotten past the obstacle, for us to relax and go back to enjoying life.
Core Competencies Reflection
Thinking – During this assignment, I had to think outside the box in order to find some creative metaphors for a river representing life.
