Possible ideas for a culminating task:
• Create a body of water timeline of a memory when you were 14 years old.
• Create a visual art piece that demonstrates what water represents to you. Consider how water reflects a memory.
• Create a spoken-word piece that illustrates a pivotal moment from when you were 14 years old.
• Create a short story about a pivotal moment from when you were 14 years old. Examples may include: Learning a new skill, a break-up with a friend or partner, loss of a friend or family member, winning an important game, winning a championship, getting into an argument or conflict with someone close to you.
Possible extensions: Read Brother by David Chariandy and do a comparison/contrast as it is a Canadian novel which also has a close connection to the land. Build on the relationship strand in the curriculum by looking at relationships to land, family as well as relationships and connections with the Black Canadian diaspora.
