Learning Intentions
•I can use the words in the text to create pictures in my mind while reading. I show this through my writing and drawn responses.
•I can imagine others senses in the images in my mind, such as the smell and feel of something.
•I understand the difference between a fact (something found in the book) and an inference (reading between the lines, which is something that is implied).
Questions
1. Olemaun had a strange nightmare that she was back at residential school. What do you think parts of the dream meant?
2. Olemaun feels the pain of her tender feet through her soft Kamiks. She feels the pain of not knowing her language and making mistakes. What do you think it means when she says, "The first time I had put my feet in outsiders' shoes they had pinched and felt awkward. Now they were a barrier, protection against the hard earth."
1:I think the dream meant she didn't want to go back to the residential school and she wants to learn how to speak her old language.
ReplyDeleteya, I think so too.
Delete1. The part where she says I dreamed that I was locked inside of one of the nun’ habits. I think that means they like over power her.
ReplyDelete2. I think it means how the outsider shoes felt awkward the first time she put them on and now they feel normal.
I agree for the first one good one
Delete2.Olemaun said that the outsiders shoes are a barrier and protection against the hard earth because the outsiders shoes are harder and she's used to running in the outsiders shoes.
ReplyDeletewhen she put the outsiders shoes on she said they felt weird that is how it was when she went to school

1. I think it means Olemaun’s scared raven’s going to get her and take her away back to the school and torture her.
ReplyDeleteI think that she is still scared of raven too.
Delete2. That’s she still a little bit an outsiders because she said the outsider’s shoes are a barrier from the world and protection
ReplyDeleteYou are right. :)
Delete2.Olemaun was thinking when she was in residential school she didn’t like the shoes there. Now the outsider shoes are her barrier and protection now she can run farther.
ReplyDeleteya, I think that she likes the shoes from the residential school maybe a little more then she other shoes.
Delete1. P.1) I think the dream was supposed to teach Olemaun to speak her language her parents speak and to remember her name p.2) That Angus’s mother won’t let Olemaun play with her outside and inside.
ReplyDelete2. She ment by the stockings and the shoes being a barrier against the dirt and stone so that her feet won’t hurt as much when she was wearing the kamiks she thinks she is part of the English people
I think that it means Olean isn’t over her fear of the Residential school, and she still can’t go a day without thinking the horror of the school.
ReplyDeleteI think what Olemaun is saying, is that as soon as she got home, from the School, she was happy when she go back, but now that she sees that it’s hard to remember the foods she ate, the language, the family, etc. And now she soon realizes, that the shoes she had at residential school, protected her from the hard earth-nothing related to her kamiks.
1. That she might miss the school a little bit and that she is still scared of the nuns but misses Sister McQuillan, and that she might like it there a little more than her home.
ReplyDelete2. I think she might mean that she is maybe starting to like the shoes because she might have gotten use to them and not her other boots.
1. She wants to be herself. She does want to be Margaret. 2. I think she meant that the kamik didn’t protect her feet as the outsiders shoes.
