Page 24 - THE ONTARIO CURRICULUM, GRADES 9 to 12 | First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Studies

Each course in Indigenous studies is organized into several strands, labelled A, B, C, and so on.
The overall expectations describe in general terms the knowledge and skills students are expected to demonstrate
by the end of each course. Two to five overall expectations are provided for each strand in every course. The numbering of the overall expectations indicates the strand to which they belong (e.g., A1 through A3 are the overall expectations for strand A).
Sample questions illustrate the kinds of questions teachers might pose in relation to the requirement specified in the expectation. They are illustrations only, not requirements. Sample questions follow the specific expectation and examples.

A numbered subheading introduces each overall expectation. The same heading is used to identify the group of specific expectations that relates
to the particular overall expectation (e.g., “A1.
The People and the Land” relates to overall expectation A1 for strand A).
The specific expectations describe the expected knowledge and skills
in greater detail. The expectation number identifies the strand to which the expectation belongs and the overall expectation to which it relates (e.g., A1.1, A1.2, A1.3, and so on, relate
to the first overall expectation in strand A).

The examples help to clarify
the requirement specified in
the expectation and to suggest its intended depth and level
of complexity. The examples
are illustrations only, not requirements. They appear in parentheses and are set in italics.
