Opener: A picture is worth a 100 words.

A picture is worth a thousand words, or in this case, about 100.  Hand out a copy of the photo of Stephen Angulalik in his trading post in Perry River (Angulalik shows off the results of his trading, Perry River, N.W.T. 1953.
(J.C. Jackson/National Archives of Canada/PA102701).  Don’t tell your students anything about the picture, not even Angulalik’s name.  Ask the students to write a story based on what they see in this picture.  Allow about 10 minutes to write down their story and then ask for volunteers to share what they have written.  This short activity should peek their interest in the life of Angulalik.
