4. How many indigenous children were housed in residential schools and in what time period?

Vastaukset

1. In 2016 Canada pledged to pay up to C$40bn in compensations to indigenous children and their families, who suffered discrimination while in foster care.

2. It has been under a lot of scrutiny because over 1,100 unmarked graves were found on the sites of the former residential schools.

3. The Canadian school system separated indigenous children from their families and sent them to boarding/residential schools where they were treated badly. Indigenous children were also forced to abandon their native languages and religions and convert to Christianity.

4. About 150 000 indigenous (First Nations, Métis and Inuit) children were housed in the residential schools between the years 1874 and 1996.

1) Aloita luomalla tunnus Quizlet:iin tässä osoitteessa.

2) Kirjauduttuasi sisään näet tämän näköisen napin, josta pääset luomaan sanalistoja Quizlet:iin:

3) Seuraavassa näkymässä anna sanalistalle kuvaava nimi ja paina sitten tätä painiketta:

4) Käytä firefox-selainta ja mene tallennettuun sanalistaan ja kopioi taulukosta kaksi ensimmäistä saraketta, eli sana englanniksi ja sen sanakirjamääritelmä.
Tämä tapahtuu painamalla CTRL-näppäin pohjaan ja maalaamalla halutut sarakkeet. Kun sarakkeet on maalattu, paina CTRL+c joka kopio tekstit.

5) Liitä kopioimasi sanat tekstikenttään. Kopioinnin jälkeen teksteissä saattaa olla ylimääräisiä välilyöntejä, eli poista ne siten, että sana ja sen selitys ovat samalla rivillä. Ei haittaa jos selitys menee useammalle riville, kunhan alku on samalla rivillä. Paina sitten vielä IMPORT-näppäint

6)Nyt sanalistan pitäisi näyttää suunnilleen tältä, eli vasemmalla puolella sana ja oikealla määritelmä:
Nyt voi painaa CREATE näppäintä alhaalla

8) Luotuasi sanalistan on Quizletissa monia mahdollisuuksia sanojen jatkokäsittelyyn:

Flashcards harjoituksessa näkyviin tulee joko sana tai sen määritelmä ja korttia painamalla paljastuu oikea vastaus.
Learn osiossa oikea vastaus määritelmään pitää kirjoittaa.
Spell osiossa kuulet sanan ja näet määritelmän, jonka perusteella pitäisi löytyä oikea vastaus.
Test osio yhdistelee erilaisia tehtävätyyppejä laajemmaksi kokonaisuudeksi

Sitten quizletistä löytyy myös pelejä joita voi käyttää sanojen opetteluun:

Match, jossa yhdistetään sana määritelmään, ja
Gravity, missä lähestyviä meteoreja pitää ampua antamalla määritelmää vastaava sana. Valitse alkuasetuksissa kohdassa "start with" definition, niin vastauksiksi vaaditaan vain sanoja, ei määritelmää.
