2) Adjust your land acknowledge to each age group. Hand gestures are good for younger kids but not as effective in older grades. 
3) The hand gestures were also incorporating aspects of sign language
4) Explain further why each gesture is being used and what information is being included. Break down each aspect of the land acknowledgement  
5) Utilize rhymes, common words for younger kids

For older students, they can use maps of their current location and see how that land was used previously or who was occupying it.]]> 2021-10-01 18:57:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jholmes20/6u4lcdoay275r9ff/wish/1784952403 https://padlet.com/jholmes20/6u4lcdoay275r9ff/wish/1784953511 We discussed how we should be adapting the land acknowledgment to where we teach and the peoples who lived on that land. We think its also important that each teacher does their own land acknowledgement rather than it being said on the announcements to make it more personal. Having the students say the land acknowledgement in their own classes will have them become more familiar with the terms used as well. 
If the land acknowledgment is said over the announcements, students should remain standing to keep focus on what they are listening to. ]]> 2021-10-01 18:57:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jholmes20/6u4lcdoay275r9ff/wish/1784953511
