In this assignment we had to create a short story, I think this is a good example of my “create and communicate core competencies”. This story relates to indigenous principles because in indigenous culture and teachings greed and dishonesty trigger bad karma. Learning from experiences and getting what your actions deserve is a common theme in indigenous learning. I believe indigenous principles are very important and the way they teach is one of the best ways to teach the up and coming generations. Reconciliation can be worked towards in may ways and awareness is one of the best ways in my opinion. Learning why the culture and teachings are just as important is huge for the preservation of the indigenous culture in Canada. Learning about how there are small elements of indigenous learning in all of life will work towards a greater understanding of there culture.

Creative thinking core competency.

Creating a story is not an easy task, even a short story. It took a bit of thinking at the beginning to get inspired and figure out what I was going to do. Taking all of your ideas and working them into a short story is no small task. I put a lot of effort into taking this story and giving it indigenous principles and teachings, learning through challenges and experiences is something I think is prevalent in indigenous teachings.

Curricular competencies reflection

During this assignment I learned about the perspective of the indigenous peoples when the colonists arrived, and why it is important to be authentic and respectful when retelling stories or events. In the film, the misrepresentation of the indigenous culture was prevalent. By doing a synthesis assignment on this film I widened my writing and reading comprehension skills, reforming my writing was key to showing my understanding about the concepts. The lessons that we took away from the synthesis project are true in everything you might do in life. Being authentic and true to history, especially when it concerns the integrity and pride of a culture, is vital to reconciliation.

Core competencies reflection

I represented my critical and reflective thinking skills/competencies in this assignment my looking at my work critically and objectively. With help I was able to improve my work and elevate it; I got feedback from my peers and teacher that helped me reflect and improve. During this assignment the goal was to take big ideas away from the texts and criticize/think reflectively about the authenticity of the two stories we looked at. Being able to see many points of view and understanding the feelings of the characters was huge when writing my synthesis.
