Over the next couple of days, 7-3, 7-4 and 7-5 will be watching a clip from We Were Children, which is a film created by the National Film Board to tell the true stories of two residential school survivors. Parents: you should know that, while we will not be watching any of the scenes in question during class, this film does contain difficult and mature content. Students have been made aware that there are mature themes later in the movie. If you feel it is important for you and/or your child to view the film in in its entirety, or if you have questions or concerns, please feel free to email me for more information, or just Google the film. We will only watch the first 25 minutes in class.
*Update (Friday June 14): Students in all three classes have been asking to watch more of the film.
7-5 has now also watched the last 30 minutes of the film (I omitted the middle section, with the most difficult content).
