In this workshop, I will give an overview of the Oral Language project currently being developed in coordination with the LUCID project and Bernard Elementary School in Chilliwack British Columbia, Canada. A series of 3 week units are being developed based on traditional Aboriginal and local regional stories for use in Kindergarten to Grade 6 classrooms with students aged 5 - 12. I will be presenting one of the 3 week cycles and give participants the opportunity to examine the theories behind the development of the lessons and participate in some of the key activities and lessons in this new Oral Language program. The Ministry of Education in British Columbia has recently placed a new emphasis on the importance of oral language within the Language Arts curriculum, under the premise that a competence in oral language is equally important to and leads to increased competence in both reading and writing. This new curricula, collaboratively created by local teachers and researchers at Simon Fraser University, is designed to meet the needs of the new Ministry requirements while also focusing on the needs of the community by connecting the lessons to the deeply rooted Aboriginal history of the land. . The lessons have been creating using the theories of Imaginative Education (Kieran Egan) as well as the work of Gregory Cajete and Beth Sutton (Enki Education) to inform the development and integration of Imaginative Education and Aboriginal content into the Oral Language lesson plans and program.
