Teacher Collaboration

Being an Ojibwe language teacher can be a lonely occupation. There aren't that many out there, and we don't get together often enough. We'd like to change that by creating a community were we can support each other, share with each other and encourage each other in the spirit of the language.

Besides reading our blog to find out what's going on, we wanted to create a place where teachers could share materials. We're working on digitizing some things we've made as part of our tribal M.Ed. program, and we invite you to share as well.

Biizikan
A unit on getting dressed. Created by Deb Eagle, Leslie Harper and Nora Livesay for UMD materials design course.

  • Paper Doll (PDF 1.2 MB)
    This is a paper doll boy with clothing. We used this in a lesson plan where we had the students cut out the boy and clothes, and do some TPR activities. You'll can use our lesson plan to generate your own ideas.
  • Biizikan book
    We created both a PDF book and a Flash audio book to use with this unit. You will need Adobe Flash player to view the flash audio book.

Counting Animate and Inanmate
Two PDF books that count to 10 using animate and inanimate verb constructions. Created by Nora Livesay for UMD materials design course.
