Teacher's Guide to Word Games.
Bennett, Ruth, Ed.; And Others
Various worksheets to teach basic Hupa language--simple phrases and the vocabulary for animal names and family relationships--are presented in this guide. The introduction notes that materials have been used successfully with students in grades 4 through 8 and that the Hupa language is being taught within the context of traditional Hupa culture. Program goals include these goals for the teacher: review the sounds of the Hupa language, teach at least 4 basic vocabulary areas, introduce at least 20 expressions or sentences, and tell or read at least 4 Hupa legends. Materials for students begin with 37 letters of the Hupa Unifon alphabet and Hupa words (with English translations) illustrating the pronunciation of each of the letters. Names of 26 animals are listed in Hupa, English, and English transliteration. The 16 student worksheets give practice translating basic vocabulary and expressions from Hupa to English and from English to Hupa. Worksheet formats include sentence completion, matching, multiple choice, word search, and riddles. Two tests of 27 and 24 items ask students to match Hupa and English words and expressions. An answer key is provided for the worksheets and tests, and a full-page display of the Indian Unifon single-sound alphabet is appended. (JHZ)
