Introduce the unit’s sentencefor this unit. Be certain that the students understand
the meaning of the structure. Use the unit’s sentence in the following
activities.
• Illustration Bingo
Tlingit-Haida-Tsimpshian As a Second Language
Lesson 3
Basic Listening
Provide each student with five vocabulary illustrations (you may wish to prepare a stencil of small versions of the vocabulary illustra tions
before the lesson begins). Each student should turn his/her illustrations face-down on the desk. Then, each stu dent should turn ONE illustration
face up. Say a vocabulary word, using the unit’s sentence. Any student or students who have the illustra tion for the vocabu lary word
you said (in the sentence) face up on their desks, should show their illustra tions. Those illustrations should then be put to the side and the
students should turn over another illustration. The first student or students to have no illustrations left on their desks, win the round. The
illustrations may be col lected, mixed, and re-distributed to the students for the different rounds of the activity.
• High Card Draw
Basic Speaking
Distribute all of the cards from a deck of playing cards to the stu dents (be certain that all students have the same number of cards). Call
two students' names. Those two students must then select one card each from their cards. The two students should show the cards they
have selected. The student who has the high est card must then identify a vo cabulary illustration you show, using the Unit’s Sentence.
Then, the student should place that card to the side. For this ac tivity, you may decide that "aces" are high or low. The value of jacks,
queens, and kings can be the same (or, you may de cide to give them specific values for this activity). If both students show cards of the
same value, then both students should identify a vo cabulary illustration you show. using the unit’s sentence. Repeat until a student or students
have no cards left.
• Flashlight Name
Mount the vocabulary illustrations on the chalkboard and the walls of the class room. Darken the classroom as much as possible. Use a
strong flash light to direct the students' attention to one of the illustrations. The students should iden tify the illustration which is illuminated
by the light of the flashlight, using the unit’s sentence for this unit. Con tinue in this way until all of the vo cabulary words have been said a
number of times.
• Your Number Is Up!
Provide each student with ten blank flashcards. Each student should then write one number on each of his/her cards, using the num bers
zero to nine - one number per card. When the students' number cards are ready, they should turn their cards over on their desks (face
down). Then, each student should turn one card face up. Call a number between zero and nine. Any stu dent or students who have that
number face up on their desks must iden tify a vocabulary illus tration you point to, using the unit’s sentence. Then, those number cards
should be placed to the side and other number cards turned over. The winner or win ners of this activity are those stu dents who have no
number cards left on their desks.
• Vocabulary Word Gossip
Have a student in the class begin by saying one of the vocabulary words, using the unit’s sentence. Then, that student should call upon
another student to select a different vocabulary word. The second student must repeat the first stu dent's sentence and then say the u
ith his/her vocabulary word. The stu dents should continue in this way until the "chain" of vocabulary words and sentences is lost. This
activity may be re peated a number of times by beginning the se quence of words/unit’s sentence once again for each new round.
