- This video is for the instructor's use only. The 'Introduction' video describes how best to use the video playlist of four Gatherings. The accompanying document of the video transcript can be used with or without viewing the videos. - These videos (Gatherings Two, Three, Nine, and Thirteen) do not need to be used in sequence but are designed to be flexible for delivery in order to meet the exact needs of the classroom or professional development workshop. - Topics included in each video are easily identified under headings, and the timing in the videos is clearly stated in both the Lesson Plan/Activity Guidebook and at the beginning of each video. - Suggested options for how to use this playlist: i) selecting snap shots from the videos by targeting specific subject matter using the headings, e.g. Identity, Residential School System, 60's Scoop, etc.; ii) selecting to use the entire Gathering video; or iii) selecting to use the entire play list, which would be applicable for Unit Plans or 1-2 day professional development workshops.
