First Nations and the Environment Lesson
Learning objectives
In this lesson, students will learn how First Nations Peoples responded to rising sea levels, drier regions, and the loss of megafauna through careful use of resources and seasonal movement. They will explore how oral traditions preserved knowledge of environmental change and how close attention to water sources, animals, and country supported survival over thousands of years. Students will have the opportunity to achieve this through choosing their own method of learning, from reading and research options, as well as the chance to engage in extension activities. This lesson includes a self-marking quiz for students to demonstrate their learning.
