Artifact: I chose my connection to the land assignment. This assignment was meant to show how the land we are on has a deeper past than what is told on the surface. I chose the Kwikwetlem land and decided to explain the stories of the thunderbird, salmon, and the flood story.

Curricular Competency: I can construct meaningful personal connections between self, text, and world. The entire purpose of this assignment was to show how the land we reside on has a deep and misunderstood history. Through the knowledge of knowing what happened on the land, we are more aware of what we could do, and especially what we shouldn’t do. Therefore, this allows us to be more sustainable in our living, as well as respecting and caring for the land that we unrightfully took from the hands of the First nations people.

Core Competency: I can show a sense of accomplishment and joy. I take pride in my work and myself. Not only did I have a sense of accomplishment within my work, I had a huge sense of pride in the photos I used, and the deeper meanings behind each example. Not only that, I also think that the presentation was very ascetically pleasing which only further engages the reader, encouraging them to learn and retain all the knowledge being spread.
