Grade Levels 3-4. Five lessons
Walking was the traditional mode of land transportation in Tlingit country. The people would do a lot of walking in the process of gathering resources to sustain their lifestyle. Today in smaller communities, there is still a lot of walking done. Asking other people where they are walking to and from is a natural conversation topic. Students can speak with each other and with elders on this topic.
This unit introduces names of common locations in a community. Students will learn to recognize and say these names while learning to use the verb “dei—goot” (to go by walking.) Students will learn to ask and answer the basic question: “Where are you going?”
