Task:

For this final project, you will be writing journal entries from the viewpoints of 3 different stakeholders in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission for Canada's Indigenous people. You could choose a residential school survivor, a  Canadian federal politician, and a young person learning about reconciliation.  Write the final journal entry from your own point of view.  However, these are only examples.  You should choose whichever stakeholders you'd like as long as they have three different perspectives.

You will be writing your journal in response to the essential question.  Which historically significant events and people in Canadian history indicate the most progress towards, or decline from Truth and Reconciliation for Canada's Indigenous people?   Consider what reconciliation means to each stakeholder now and write the journal response from each perspective.

For your journal entries, you must:

• Make specific reference to the historical events and/or people that have affected Truth and Reconciliation (Use the information you learned from completing your Annotated Bibliography!)
• Write in the first person (I, me, my)
• Fully develop this character for your reader and develop the narrative to inform and compel the audience to the feelings and opinions of your character.
• Make each journal entry different, rather than a different slice of the same pie.  Utilize all that you have learned and create something of value.

*There is no length set for these entries.  They are complete when the criteria above has been met.  Remember to edit your writing as mistakes take the power from the writing by distracting the reader from your message.

Feel free to complete  additional research.  There is a lot of information out there about this issue.

Write the journal entries with seven to ten (or more) direct references to historical people or events to clearly communicate a response to the essential question. The entries are formatted with a clear introduction, 4+ main body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Vivid imagery, setting and character development bring the entries to life and may include inference and/or metaphor.  Characters and entries make sense and are rich and believable, seeming like real-life people full of contradiction and complexity. The author possesses a strong voice and the writing is compelling and engaging. Research is used effectively and creatively demonstrating a clear sense of control and effort to make connections to self, to text, and to the world.
