Chapitres très courts.

Déjà utilisé en classe et ADORÉ par élèves.

Very revelatory learning experience. Naomi Fontaine is from an Innu community in Northern Quebec (near Gaspésie).

Beautifully written - doesn’t rely on clichés and stereotype.

Currently using with Grade 11 Immersion students. Students loved the book. 

Short chapters, easy to read. 

Naomi Fontaine’s character writes letters to a white woman who came to live in her community when she was young to fill her in on everything that has happened, good and bad, in her community. 

The language is very accessible to the students who were able to engage with the content well. 

Short chapters sometimes divided with quotes and explores different themes that emerge from her community. 

Positions non-Indigenous readers to face what they are not accustomed to seeing. 

Cindy uses the book in her school book club and students rate the book with stars.

Usage dans la salle de classe:

• Utilise un format de "club de lecture" où chaque élève aurait un rôle attribué, ce qui pourrait faciliter la réflexion, la discussion et favoriser la compréhension du texte, en équipes.

• Les réflexions modernes, le "gap" entre nos préjugés et la réalité.
