Subject-specific competencies: This activity, centered around the Huron-Wendat ancestral culture, will call upon students to understand the organization of a cultural area and to characterize a period in the history of Quebec and Canada. Since knowledge is transmitted in a participatory manner, students will be called upon to engage in dialogues and to communicate orally in a variety of ways. The practical and playful aspects of the activity will enable them to interact with other in different physical activity settings.
