Theme: Types of Clothing
Lesson 1
Grade 7 - Grade 12
Motivation
Present the clothing samples to the students. Discuss each article of clothing as it is presented.
Encourage the students to compare and contrast the appearances and uses of the different articles
of clothing.
Introduction
• If possible, find a photograph of clothing from years ago. Show the picture to the students and
have them compare and contrast the old fashioned clothing with the clothing samples introduced
above.
Introduce the Tlingit/Haida/Tsimshian vocabulary words for the items introduced above.
Prepare a vocabulary illustration for each of the words.
• Nod and Clap
Basic Listening
Mount the vocabulary illustrations on the chalkboard. Point to one of the illustra tions and say its
name. The students should nod their heads to indicate that you said the correct vocabulary word
for the illustration. However, when you point to an illustration and say an incorrect name for it, the
students should clap their hands ONCE. Repeat this process until all of the vocabulary illustrations
have been used a number of times in this way.
• Flashlight Encode
Basic Speaking
Prepare a photocopied set of the vocabulary illustrations. Cut each of the photocopied illustrations
in half. Mix all of the halves to gether and mount them on the chalkboard, in a scattered form.
Stand some distance from the chalkboard with two flashlights. Shine the two flash lights on two
illustration halves. If the two halves illuminated by the flashlights represent a vocabulary illus -
tration, the students should iden tify it orally. However, if the two halves do not go together to rep -
resent a vocabu lary illustration, the students should remain silent. Re peat this process until all
vo cabulary illustrations have been identified in this way.
• Match My Half
Cut the vocabulary illustrations in half. Keep one half of each il lustration and give the remaining
halves to the students. Hold up one of your illustra tion halves. The student who has its matching
half must show his/her half and say the vocabulary word for the illus tration. Repeat this pro cess
until all students have responded.
