IYIS 204: Language Learning Through Art & Science
We had an opportunity to learn how to merge traditional arts and science with language learning. This was done through the practical on-hands experience of making Birch Bark Baskets from start to finish...from going on the land to collecting/gathering all the materials, birch bark, spruce roots, and also this was a great opportunity to try to gather other materials used for dying the spruce roots etc...
I utilized Facebook posts to share my progress and grateful to my peers who shared their progress to add to our collective story of making beautifully creative Birch Bark Baskets.
We had to make two (2) Baskets, one (1) to be gifted and the other for yourself. We also had to submit a Unit Plan with a minimum of four (4) Lessons to go with this experience...
