Tlingit-Haida-Tsimpshian As a Second Language<br />

Lesson 10<br />

Grade 7 - Grade 12<br />

Extension Activities<br />

Administer the Assessment for this unit.<br />

• Provide each student with a square of white cloth, a needle, and embroidery thread. The students<br />

should use the needles and thread to embroider pictures of transportation forms on their<br />

squares of cloth. When the students' pictures are finished, display all of the squares on a bulletin<br />

board as a transportation quilt.<br />

• Lay the transportation pictures (from lessons 1 & 2) on the floor and group the students around<br />

them. Place a remote control car on the floor and give the controls to a student. Say the name<br />

of a transportation form; the students should SLOWLY drive the car to the picture of the transportation<br />

form that you named. Repeat until all of the students have driven the car in this way.<br />

• Introduce the dialog for this unit to the students. Begin by saying the “a” parts; the students<br />

say the “b” parts. Later, switch these and the students say the “a” parts and you say the “b”<br />

parts. Divide the class in half and have the two groups practice the dialog. When the students<br />

learn the dialog, have individuals in the class practice the dialog with one another.<br />

• Prepare a set of sight word cards for the students so that each student has one card. Call a student’s<br />

name; that student should try to say a complete Tlingit/Haida/Tsimshian sentence using<br />

sentences and vocabulary words from previous units. Continue until each student has had an<br />

opportunity to create a sentence of his/her own. Understandably, the sentences may be very<br />

basic for those students who do not understand or speak Tlingit/Haida/Tsimshian. Accept any<br />

sentences that make sense; if a student makes a grammatical mistake, merely repeat the sentence,<br />

making the change(s) so that the sentence is grammatically correct.<br />

Place all of the sight words from this unit in a box or envelope, labeled “Grades 7 - 12;”<br />

these words can be used periodically throughout the school year for review purposes.<br />

You may wish to keep the matching vocabulary illustrations in a separate box or envelope.<br />

One review activity would be to dump all of the sight words on a table. Group the students<br />

around the table. Each student should take one of the vocabulary illustrations and<br />

then try to find its sight word on the table.<br />
