Tsapah Talks of Pheasant and Other Stories. The Indian Reading Series: Stories and Legends of the Northwest. Teacher's Manual, Level IV.
Butterfield, Robin
This guide presents an overall plan for implementing Level VI of the Indian Reading Series, which features legends and stories of Northwest tribes in a supplementary reading and language arts development program for elementary grade Indian and non-Indian children. Introductory sections present the rationale of the program's language experience approach, state program objectives, discuss the Indian oral tradition, and give an historical perspective of Indian culture in pre-contact, reservation, and modern periods. The majority of the manual consists of teaching activities for the 19 stories in the student reader. The following information is provided for each story: (1) geographical area from which the story came; (2) new or unfamiliar vocabulary, including native words; (3) suggestions for introducing and generating interest in the story; (4) discussion topics; and (5) teacher-guided and independent activities for students. In addition to story-specific activities, the manual describes art and drama activities to be used with any or all of the stories. Suggested art activities include basketry, weaving, beadwork, quilting, costume and set construction, dioramas, and masks. Drama activities are emphasized, including readers theater, puppet plays, role play, participation drama, and full production plays. Scripts are provided for seven stories in the student reader.
