This is my character infographic on the story “A Mountain Legend”

Curricular Competency

What did you learn about Indigenous themes, issues, or perspectives during this assignment and how did you grow in your reading, listening, or viewing skills? 

I learned about indigenous perspectives through the character infographic i created by looking at how the indigenous boy named Jason and the way he thinks, his characteristic traits and perspectives he has through the story “A mountain legend”, how he thinks he has to climb the mountain to be a warrior, since all his ancestors and people of his Cree community are warriors. Jason mindset was that he has to prove to everyone he’s a warrior even though he puts his life at risk while doing it. His perspective throughout this whole story was about how he can become a warrior and prove to all that he’s not a chicken. To add, i grew in my reading skills through this assignment by reading a short story “A Mountain Legend” and analyzing and identifying the different characteristics and traits Jason had, and created a character analysis from it. This taught me to gather every critical detail in a story because it’s all important and can help identify a character more in a story.

Core Competency

Creative Thinking

The core competency I have chosen for my artifact is creative thinking. I demonstrate this by being able to create a body of work over time. I did this by, when I created my character analysis I was given one week to do it, over that one week I gather ideas and information to create my character infographic and each day I would add to it because I thought of more ideas and traits that the character demonstrated in the story. So, at first I started off with some ideas in a character analysis chart, I then over the course of a few days, took those ideas and created my infographic into this creative, colourful, well thought out infographic made on the app canva. My character infographic on the character Jason the story “A Mountain Legend” has illustrated on how i can create a body of work over time, and reflects my creative thinking in English First Peoples 11.
