This lesson was part of a mini-unit on poetry. This lesson (along with the others) used Indigenous lore to provoke the students to think critically about the world. We discussed poetic devices; such as, metaphor and simile, to dive into Indigenous symbolism. We construct meaning through multiple lenses, and consider new possibilities of expression.
