ELA 9: Creating Birch Bark Canoe/Norse-First Nation Activity- Canoe Do This?

This activity allows students to connect stories and myths they read to actual objects they make by hand. Each product (canoe) varied based on the students’ interpretation of the instructions/pattern of canoe building. Supporting this, students viewed a Birch Bark harvest video.
