Tlingit-Haida-Tsimpshian As a Second Language
Kindergarten - Grade 3
Motivation
Put a wet sock in a plastic bag. Group the students
together in front of you and tell them that
you brought your favorite socks to show them.
Remove the wet sock and dramatize your
alarm over the sock being wet. Encourage the
students to tell you why the sock might be wet
- lead the students to suggest that the sock
was left out in the rain. Use this to introduce the
different weather forms.
Introduction
• Collect a clothing sample for each of the
weather forms to be introduced in this unit.
Present the clothing items to the students, calling
upon them to identify the weather form(s)
associated with each item.
Review the Tlingit/Haida/Tsimshian vocabulary
words for the items introduced
above. Show the vocabulary pictures from
this Unit.
• Wild Cars
Theme: Weather Forms
Basic Listening
Make two "roads" on the floor using masking
tape. Be certain that there are a number of
curves and circles in the roads. The roads
should stretch for at least ten feet. If you have
a floor rug, chalk may be used to fashion the
roads. Place a toy car at the beginning of each
road. Lay the vocabulary illustrations at the
end of the roads. Have a student sit beside
each car. Name one of the vocabulary illustrations
and say"Go." The two students should
"drive" their cars along the roads as quickly as
they can. The winner is the player who first
parks his car on the illustration.
