I haven't read this book with my fifth graders yet this year, but we read it last year. One thing that was fun was getting paper bag material (we actually had a roll of it, like bulletin board rolls) and ripping it into| a bearskin pattern. The kids can write an Indian story on it. I found a book of pictographs. What they do is write a story with the pictographs: Attean went down to the (Indian symbol for river) to hunt a huge (Indian symbol for bear). The end result was wonderful. We posted these in the hallway and received highly favorable comments. You could also make a "Wanted" poster for the | |
one white man in the story with the red hair. (I don't remember his name.) The kids loved that activity. We also had a dress-up one day. The kids designed outfits to make themselves look like Indians. Have fun.
