Prior to reading or watching The Sacred Fisher Story it is recommended that teachers take time to activate student thinking with regards to existing knowledge. Some examples to consider are introducing vocabulary, key concepts such as love, balance, respect, our relationship with the environment, the animals in the story, etc.

After reading or watching The Sacred Fisher Story, there are many possible activities that can be done to reinforce and further explore the story’s messages.

Although there are a variety of themes embedded within the story, this resource focuses 7 big ideas, each with supporting videos and sample lesson plans. All lesson plans also have connections to the Anishinaabe teachings of the 7 Sacred Teachings (Grandfather Teachings) as well as the Catholic Virtues and Catholic Graduate Expectations (Note: this resource was developed by the Dufferin Peel Catholic District School Board)
