- Summary:
-
Designed in consultation with Ojibwe elders and tested with students of all ages, the illustrated bilingual booklet uses rhyming "guess who" English riddles with Ojibwe translations to teach about the special characteristics and centrality of 20 woodland animals in American Indian culture. Animals included are the bald eagle, bear, beaver, buffalo, butterfly, deer, fish, owl, loon, moose, muskrat, otter, porcupine, rabbit, raccoon, skunk, snake, squirrel, turtle, and wolf. Each riddle is presented in both languages within a flower-decorated border on one side of each page, with a line drawing of the animal and its English and Ojibwe name printed on the opposite side of the page. Suggested student objectives include identifying each animal by its picture and by the clue given in both languages, responding correctly to each riddle, reading each riddle in both languages correctly, identifying two characteristics of each animal, discussing these characteristic strengths, and describing their importance to human beings. Suggestions offered for extended activities include brainstorming other Native American animals, studying about other animals, writing additional riddles using this booklet's format, making animal puppets, and researching/creating stories/skits about animals describing how/why they got their characteristics and how they are important to human beings.
