I've shared magazine templates for years to teachers to use with their students. I've been asked for Canva versions of them and finally got around to building some out. Here is the link to my template page where you can find TIME and NAT GEO versions

This week, my ethnic studies class loved discussing how shows can tell counter histories like Reservation Dogs’ S3E3 episode on Deer Lady’s backstory of surviving the horrors of Native boarding school. #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth www.indiewire.com/features/com...
The Disturbing True Story Behind Boarding School Flashbacks on ‘Reservation Dogs’
Deer Lady (Kaniehtiio Horn) returns, along with the real-life horror of Native boarding schools.
