Tlingit-Haida-Tsimshian As A Second Language<br />

Lesson 7<br />

Grade 7 - Grade 12<br />

Basic Reading<br />

Decoding/Encoding<br />

Before the activity begins, prepare a page that contains the sight words. Provide each student with a copy of the page. Each student should<br />

then cut out the letter/syllables of the sight words. When a student has cut out all of the letter/syllables, he/she should lay them on his/her<br />

desk, in a scattered form. Say one of the sight words. The students should then find the necessary let ters/syllables to create the sight word<br />

you said. Continue until all of the sight words have been developed in this way. Later, the students can glue their encoded sight words on<br />

blank sheets of paper.<br />

• How Many<br />

Provide each student with five blank flash cards. Each student should write the numbers 1 to 9 on his/her cards (one number per card).<br />

Say one of the sight words and the students should hold up the number cards to show the number of letters/syllables in the word. Repeat<br />

this process with other sight words. Of course, if you have sight words that contain more than nine let ters/syllables, it will be necessary to<br />

provide the students with more flashcards.<br />

• Right Or Wrong<br />

Provide each student with writing paper and a pen. Spell a sight word orally. If you spell the sight word correctly, each stu dent should make<br />

a checkmark on his/her paper. However, if you mis spell the word, each student should make an "X" on his/her paper. Con tinue until all<br />

sight words have been spelled in this way. Af terwards, review the students' responses. This activity may also be done in team form. In this<br />

case, group the students into two teams. Write a sight word on the chalkboard (either spelling it correctly or incorrectly). When you say<br />

"Go," the first player from each team must rush to the chalkboard and indicate whether you spelled the word correctly or incor rectly. For<br />

cor rect, the players should make a checkmark on the chalk board; for incorrect, the players should make an "X" on the chalkboard. The<br />

first player to respond correctly, wins the round. Repeat until all players have participated. Use a different sight word for each round of the<br />

activity.<br />
