Extension Activities

• Lay a length of mural paper on the floor;
divide the mural paper into the rooms of a
house. Provide the students with old magazines
and catalogs. The students should cut
out pictures that represent the different rooms
of a house. The students should glue their pictures
in the correct locations on the mural
paper. When the home mural is finished, display
it in the classroom or hallway.
• Mix a number of home and not home related
pictures together. Spread the pictures on the
floor and group the students around them.
Have pairs of students take turns sorting and
classifying the pictures according to those that
show rooms of a home and those that do not.
• If possible, prepare an audio tape of common
sounds of the home (e.g., running water, snoring,
cooking, etc.). Group the students together
and play the tape for them; have the students
identify the sounds and the rooms in
which the activities would most likely occur.
• Introduce the dialog from this unit to the students.
Practice the dialog with the students in
choral, group and individual forms.
Prepare a sheet of small vocabulary illustrations,
based on the key vocabulary
words for this unit. Make a copy of the page
for each student. The students should take
the illustrations page home so that they can
say the Tlingit/haida/Tsimshian vocabulary
words to the members of their families.
