The Orange Shirt Story Teacher Lesson Plan - Loose Leaf

by Phyllis Webstad (Author), Brock Nicol (Illustrator)

A teacher lesson plan to futher explore the book. May include comprehension questions, group activities, conversation starters, quizzes, language arts activities, and colouring pages. When Phyllis Webstad (nee Jack) turned six, she went to the residential school for the first time. On her first day at school, she wore a shiny orange shirt that her Granny had bought for her, but when she got to the school, it was taken away from her and never returned. This is the true story of Phyllis and her orange shirt. It is also the true story of Orange Shirt Day (an important day of remembrance for First Nations and non First Nations Canadians).
