Kiviuq and the Mermaids and Kiviuq and the Bee Woman Lessons

Description
Supporting Indigenous Resources for Inclusive Learning for Elementary and High School Students
This no-prep, learning resource has 14 different activities to support these Inuit Traditional Stories and uses comprehension strategies: Summary, Meaning, Problem and Resolution, Connection, Question, Create an Alternative Ending/ Continue the Story, and Compare and Contrast
Who doesn't love a creepy story? The Inuit have mastered the art of telling creepy stories and are by far, my favourite traditional tales.
The activity sheets that support this unit are perfect for students between Grade 3 and Grade 7, but discretion should be made regarding Kiviuq and the Bee Woman as the story is a bit gory.
