For this assignment, you are going to tell a story, but not just any story. It will be a First Nations story, and it will be your version of it.

Choose one of the two stories at the end of this unit, either "Why the Flint-Rock Cannot Fight Back" 

You can write of yourself telling one of the stories. 

In telling your story, here is what you will need to consider:

• Clarity of speech
• Intonation
• Pacing and pauses

You will also have to work out how to make this telling of the story yours. You might want to read it aloud with point form notes for a prompt or to memorize it. Perhaps you want to rewrite it so that it sounds more like your words. Maybe you will change names and place-names to those you are familiar with. If you are making a video or performing this live, you should practice facial and hand gestures as well as stance and body language. The purpose of all of this is to bring your own mea
