"From misinformation to the 24-hour news cycle (on TV and now on social media), students must learn to navigate a noisy, biased, and challenging world. But with the right support, they can learn to be critical and not cynical -- to speak up, not sit back. This collection of news and media lessons, videos, printables, and more is a great place to start. Everything's been carefully vetted by Common Sense editors (and fellow teachers) to help you find that "just right" resource for your classroom.

Nina Jablonski says that differing skin colors are simply our bodies' adaptation to varied climates and levels of UV exposure. Charles Darwin disagreed with this theory, but she explains, that's because he did not have access to NASA. Nina Jablonski is author of Skin: A Natural History, a close look at human skin's many remarkable traits: its colors, its sweatiness, the fact that we decorate it. A quiz, thought provoking question, and links for further study are provided to create a lesson around the 15-minute video. Educators may use the platform to easily "Flip" or create their own lesson for use with their students of any age or level.

« Bienvenue à cet apprentissage en ligne Nisitohtamowin ᓂᓯᑐᐦᑕᒧᐃᐧᐣ. Cette séance d’apprentissage en ligne d’une heure vise à favoriser la compréhension des perspectives autochtones au Canada. Il s’agit d’une ressource offerte gratuitement au public pendant le mois de juin afin de souligner le Mois national de l’histoire autochtone.
La prise de mesures pour comprendre les perspectives autochtones peut mener à la réconciliation, à de meilleures relations et à diverses occasions, notamment en ce qui a trait à l’économie, aux partenariats communautaires, à l’environnement et aux affaires. Ce cours ne constitue qu’un premier pas vers la compréhension. Nous invitons tous les participants à chercher d’autres occasions d’apprentissage, que ce soit auprès des Autochtones de leur région ou de l’Université des Premières Nations du Canada. »
** « Ce cours aborde des sujets destinés aux adultes et pourrait ne pas convenir à tous les âges. Il explore l’histoire des Autochtones au Canada, notamment les pensionnats et les relations entre les races. Des sujets délicats sont abordés, comme la violence faite aux enfants, les agressions sexuelles, les actes violents et la mort. Ces sujets peuvent provoquer des réactions émotives chez certaines personnes et nous encourageons celles qui en ont besoin à chercher des ressources de soutien locales. » **

5 Films...
"Orange Shirt Day was launched in 2013 to call attention to 165 years of residential school experiences (1831-1996). For residential school survivor Phyllis Webstad, the severing of the threads connecting her to family, community, and culture began in 1973, when the beautiful orange shirt she wore to her first day of school was stripped from her and never seen again. The removal of the orange shirt was the first of a series of destructive methods enforced to deplete her sense of self-worth, erase her culture, and suppress her spirit. Her story is just one of the experiences described by countless survivors, but many others did not live to tell their own story. Intergenerational experiences rooted in the trauma inflicted through residential schools and other forced-assimilation policies continue to ripple through communities today...."

Our Homes Are Bleeding - Digital Collection
The "Our Homes Are Bleeding" collection has grown out of the stories of cut-off lands in British Columbia. These stories are a part of the history of the reserve system in Canada, aboriginal title and rights and First Nations resistance to colonial assertion of land title.
The digital collection draws together several types of primary materials. The records of the McKenna McBride Royal Commission (1913 - 1916) include transcripts of testimonies given to the Commission, photographs and maps. Additional historical records, including maps, documents, newspaper articles, photographs, audio and video clips, show the continual assertion of aboriginal title and rights. Resource lists, narrative essays, a student webquest and teacher's resources have been developed to support the use of the collection.
