Lesson 1
Before the lesson begins, prepare an audio tape
that contains the sound of a transportation form
- a car, a snowmobile, etc. Group the students
together and play the tape for them. The students
should identify the sound that they hear. Use
this to introduce transportation forms to the
students.
Introduction
• Collect pictures, models, parts of transportation
forms, etc. to introduce the different transportation
forms to the students (e.g., a hub cap
for car, a spring for snowmachine, etc.).
Introduce each item, encouraging the students
to name the transportation form associated
with each one and the season(s) during which
they are used.
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.
