This unit integrates ELA and Arts Ed Outcomes in the hopes of the students being able to show what they know through the use of the text, “If You’re Not From the Prairie”.

2. Opening activity: Give students the line “If You’re Not From the Prairie”…. In partners, have students generate a list of things that are unique to Saskatchewan. Encourage them to think of something the other groups will not have on their lists. Post these lists. After reading “If You’re Not From the Prairie”, compare the student-generated lists to the ideas mentioned in the poem. Check off how many student ideas were included in the poem. (Could make it a competition, depending on the class, and have a ‘Saskatchewan' for the pair of students with the most ideas included in the poem)

"The Saskatchewan Ministry of Education is guided by a Student First approach in which students’ strengths, needs and interests are central to inclusive educational experiences for learning. Inclusive opportunities promote increased understanding and acceptance of diversity within the classroom, school and the community.

Inclusive education provides students with an opportunity to learn with age appropriate peers within schools in their home communities. An inclusive environment is welcoming and accepting of student interests, backgrounds and life experiences." (p. 2)

Why were bison essential to people living on the plains, prior to the time of Treaty negotiations (1870s)? What does the bison represent today? This LIVE Arts broadcast features contemporary artwork and storytelling by Métis artist Leah Marie Dorion, based on her children's book, "Métis Camp Circle: A Bison Culture Way of Life." Leah reads from the book, discusses the importance of bison (past and present), explains the use of Métis symbolism and discuss the composition and design of the illustrations. Leah guides students through a live drawing activity where they learn to draw and paint a bison as inspired by Leah's particular style of creating and imagery.

Leah Dorion is a Metis artist who was born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.  This lesson gives you a few examples of books she has illustrated as well as goes through the art technique she uses.
