Ms. Shamim/Mr. Gray and Ms. Hatt’s classes have been exploring the importance, and history of, storytelling for indigenous people, why we tell stories, and ways to tell good stories. They are making stories on spark video and these will include personal art, text and voice.

They had the unique opportunity to join in a live session of indigenous storytelling with Young Water Speaks. Several award winning Indigenous elders and leaders met them on zoom and were able to tell their stories. This added depth to their learning about storytelling, as well as their unit on local water.
