• Cut a length of mural paper for each student
- large enough for a tracing of the students.
The students should trace one another. When
the tracings are finished, have the students cut
them out. If possible, take a polaroid picture of
each student. Have the students tape their
faces onto the heads of their cut outs. The students
should then use illustrating supplies to
add details to their cut outs. Display the completed
cut outs in the classroom or hallway.
• Have a student sit in a chair beside the chalkboard
(the student should sit with one of
his/her sides facing the chalkboard). Place an
overhead projector on a table on the other side
of the student, facing the chalkboard. Caution
the student not to look into the light of the
projector! Tape a sheet of white paper to the
chalkboard so that the student’s silhouette can
be seen. Trace the outline of the student’s
head on the white paper. Repeat with the other
students. The students should then cut out
their head tracings and glue them onto black
paper. Display the heads in the classroom or
hallway.
• Lay a large cut out of a person on the floor.
Place concrete materials associated with the
different body parts on the floor, beside the cut
out. For example, gloves for hands, hat for
head, etc. Have the students place all of the
concrete materials in their correct locations on
the cut out.
Prepare a sheet of small vocabulary illustrations,
based on the key vocabulary words for
this unit. Make a copy of the page for each student.
The students should take the illustrations
page home so that they can say the
Tlingit/Haida/Tsimshian vocabulary words to
the members of their families.
