Watch the video give by Donovan Livingston for his graduation with Harvard University.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XGUpKITeJM
Write a personal response to his talk.
Do you make any personal connection to his words and/or see similar themes in Canadian education? How do you think the residential school system is similar or different to the plight of African Americans and slavery?
Start with a story from your own school experience. Be very detailed and include sensory descriptions- sounds, smells, sights, tastes, touch etc.
You might have a very positive experience from school and can contrast to the themes in Livingston's speech. Or you might have had experiences that resonate with his speech.
Write at least 300 words. I will use the gov't marking rubric for your response.
25 marks
