Extension Activities
Administer the Assessment for this unit.
• Provide the students with pipe cleaners and
plasticine. The students should use their materials
to create “insects” introduced in this unit.
Arrange the completed insects on a display
table in the classroom.
• Have the students create butterflies out of different
colours of tissue paper. Lay a length of
waxed paper on the floor for each student.
When a student’s butterflies are finished,
he/she should lay them on the waxed paper.
Cover the butterflies with another layer of
waxed paper. Then, use an old iron to seal the
sheets of waxed paper together. Have the students
trim the edges of their art. Display the
completed art forms on the classroom windows.
• If a copy of The Hungry Caterpillar is available
in the library, read it to the students. Show
the pictures from the story as you read (or tell)
the story. Ask the students literal and inferential
questions during the telling/reading of the
story. You may wish to have the students say
“tl’uk’x,” whenever the caterpillar is mentioned
in the story.
• Introduce the dialog from this unit to the students.
Practice the dialog with the students in
choral, group and individual forms.
Make a copy of the mini illustrations 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.
