7 Teachings Exercise

This is an exercise that I did in my Aboriginal Education course at university. We had to go around the class and write words on posters for each of the seven sacred teachings. Once we were finished the posters each had a word splash of what it meant to each person.
Here is an example of what this looked like:

 

 Once we were finished the writing portion of this lesson the class was split in two parts: "givers" and "receivers". The "givers" would be the givers of words orally and the "receivers" would close their eyes and receive the words.

This exercise was a very powerful oral experience. I would definitely conciser doing with grade 2 students. I think this exercise is deeply connected to Aboriginal Education and Drama because it involves speaking and sharing orally. Students must exhibit ability to share and listen equally, which are dramatic outcomes that need to be met.
