Inspired by plans for a Small Modular Reactor (SMR) in Saskatchewan, our Grade 9 Team embarked on a cross-curricular project. Exploring SMRs' construction, operations, and impacts, we integrated indigenous perspectives on Treaty, Truth and Reconciliation, UNDRIP, and Duty to Consult.

In summary, the purpose of this artifact was to increase the amount of group collaboration and critical thinking in my PAA classes. Typically in my PAA class, students pick a project and follow strict plans that will lead to their resulting projects. This group activity will require students to collaborate and think critically in order to come up with their own way to accomplish a simple task.
· Each student takes an item from the mystery bag
· Ask them to organize themselves into groups that they think fit together
· Then after a few minutes say there are 8 groups
· Set out 8 # cards with the title and see what groups you can make now
· Each person briefly describes why they choose that group & then results are graphed.
