Grade 4 Social Studies - PA 4.4 Intro to Metis Flower Beadwork People

This lesson for PA 4.4 introduces students to the Metis nation using a storybook called The Flower Beadwork People.  Lesson suggested by Virginia Mireau.  The poster series by Sherry Farrell Racette is in all Sun West schools.  It is a beautiful visual depiction of the Metis culture. 

The accompanying PowerPoint is a collection of illustrations that follows the storybook The Flower Beadwork People.  The illustrations can be shown on the SmartBoard while the teacher read the storybook aloud.  (The PowerPoint illustrations are from public access internet resources).  Created by Virginia Mireau.
