MATERIALS Ask students to rotate to one of the other centres with their partner
and mind map their findings in their thought books.
1. mural craft paper
2. markers Pair up two sets of partners and ask them to share their findings by
answering the question: “In Georgina Island, how are daily routines
3. pencils
connected to and/or impacted by the land?”
4. sticky notes
Repeat this activity so students have enough time to explore the
resources at all of the centres, as well as add their notes in their
thought books.

gathered. Use mural craft paper to map jobs onto the islands and
surrounding area. This does not need to be an accurate rendition
of Georgina Island, but rather a focus on the stories, jobs, and
physical regions that students have gathered information on. Ask
students to add pictures, symbols, or snippets of information with
their group (teams of 3 to 4 students are ideal).
Assessment (of learning)
• Walk around with checklist to see if students are using the
vocabulary as well as listening to peers.
Spiritual (Reflect) Consolidation and Debrief
Closing Circle: Capture student voice and reflections for
next task
Circle reflection: Place mural sheets in the middle of the circle and have
students sit around them in a circle.
Have students reflect on the framing question:
• How do natural physical features influence the ways in which land
is used?
Then ask:
• Can you identify if your thinking has changed?
• How might physical features influence another community that
you are familiar with? Share your new learning and a wondering
you would like to explore further.
Select another community book and draw comparisons between the
jobs that are local to that region and the Chippewas of Georgina Island
First Nation.
