Extension Activities
Administer the Criterion Referenced Assessment for this unit.
• Invite a resource person to make a presentation to the students about the traditional Native
roles that members of the family played. The resource person should bring concrete materials
(such as men’s/women’s tools) to enhance the presentation.
• Create the outline of a “family tree” on a sheet of paper. E.g.:
... you may wish to create two for each student - one for mothers and the other for fathers. The
students should then plot their family trees, using the form - you may wish to have the students
select their mother’s clan for this activity. They should add the names of their relatives.
• Introduce and practice the unit’s dialog with the students. Practice the dialog in choral, group
and individual forms.
• Prepare a copy of the dialog page (from the Students’ Activity Sheets) for each student. The students
should cut out the words at the bottom of the page. Show an illustration - the students must
find that word, put it in the Unit Sentence in the dialog and then, say the dialog with you (you say
the A parts and the students say the B parts).
• Provide each student with a sheet of art paper, scissors, glue and old magazines/catalogs. The
students should find pictures that they can use to show the sequence from “baby” to “adult.” The
students should glue their pictures on their art paper - from youngest to oldest. Display the completed
art.
