The goal of this assignment is for you to use the four themes of unsettling, resistance, resilience and mapping — as well as the course content in the lectures to date — as a lens through which to view one of the films available.
What do I mean by a lens? A lens is a principle that guides how we look at a problem or material. In our case, we are using the lenses of unsettling, resistance, resilience and mapping to interpret the film.
To help you assess the film, list key messages of the film and align them with the four themes. You might use a table like the one below.
Lens/principle Event or theme from the film
Unsettling
Resistance
Resilience
Mapping
film can be chosen from the four movies: Mashkawi-Manidoo Bimaadiziwin Spirit to Soar, Kanehsatake: 270 Years of Resistance, Trick or treaty, Indian Horse.
When watching the film, notice how certain events and stories in the film align with the rows in your table (e.g. the 4 themes).
Your job is then to create a narrative review of the film that addresses each of the rows in your table.
Try and use knowledge that you have gained from the course lectures so far. For instance, you know that First Nations peoples started to change their patterns of geographical movement and mobility when settlers started to encroach on their lands. This might relate to material presented in your film. In this case, use your writing to illustrate how this aligns with information in the film and also with the theme of resilience.
A final goal is to discuss the events of your film in relation to current geographical events in Canada. For instance, if your film is about land or treaty negotiation, how does that relate to contest over geographies in the present day? Use an example from current affairs (i.e. last ten years).
This assignment should include the table filled in (see above) and a short (500 words max) discussion of the events of the film in relation to current affairs in Canada. At the top of the assignment text box, type the name of the film you assessed. The marking will be based on 4 criteria: skill in aligning film material with any or all of the four themes; relation of the film material and concepts to course content to date (up to and including week 5), writing clarity and skill; and ability to relate events portrayed in the film to contemporary Canadian geography.
IN SUMMARY:
1. Fill in the table with bullet points indicating how the events of the film you reviewed align with the course themes.
2. Write a short (500 words or less) review of the film. The 500 word review is separate from the words in the table.
3. The review should reference things you learned about the in course as well as the relationship of the material in the film to a current events in Canada.
4. If you do not know what a film review should entail, then read some film reviews in the Globe & Mail or other newspapers.
Criteria
1.Alignment of film content with course themes
The four course themes are: unsettling (colonization), resistance, resilience and mapping. You are looking
for a clear articulation between one or more of these themes and the film content. 3marks
2.Relation of the course content to the film message
There have been five course weeks to date. You are looking for how the students linked the film content to
the course content. Look for 4 points (associated with a mark each). 4marks
3.This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeWriting clarity and skill
You are looking for clear, concise and articulate writing. Use of proper paragraphs, punctuation and
grammar are also important. 4marks
4. This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeRelation of film content to one or more events in
contemporary Canadian geography
You are looking for the student’s ability to link film content to a contemporary event in Canada. What are the
