Theme: Types of Clothing
Kindergarten - Grade 3
Motivation
Before the lesson begins, find an old shirt. Cut
the shirt into its parts - collar, sleeves, front,
back, pockets, etc. Place all of the parts in a
container and tell the students that you have
brought your favorite shirt to show them. Dump
the parts on the floor and appear horrified to
see that your shirt is in pieces. Have the students
help you to put the shirt pieces together
on the floor.
Introduction
• Collect samples of the different clothing items
to be introduced in this unit. Show each clothing
item to the students; discuss when/where
etc. each clothing item would be worn.
Introduce the Tlingit/Haida/Tsimshian
vocabulary words for the items introduced
above. Show the vocabulary pictures from
this Unit.
• Turn and Face
Basic Listening
Mount the vocabulary illustrations on the walls
and chalkboard. Group the stu dents together in
the center of the classroom. Say one of the vo -
cabulary words and the students should turn to
face the illustration for the word you said.
Depending upon the size of your class, this ac -
tivity may be done in small groups. This activity
may also be done in team form. In this case,
have a player from each team stand in the center
of the classroom. When a player faces the
wrong di rection (i.e., the wrong il lustration),
he/she is "out" until a later round of the ac tivity.
Repeat until all players have had an opportunity
to participate.
