Movies
I wasn't very techy in the movies project. I tried hard to view them, expecially the Hunters. I enjoyed learning some new words. The most trouble I had with any of the lessons, was writing. I could say the would correctly, but when I had to test out or spell it would get it wrong.I have written words a hndred times, to make sure I get it right. And it helps to test, as it picks out where you need to brush up on for sure. (smile) Language Now and BKFI (now sure of the acronmyn0 there are excellent language tools. I am so glad to be able to utilze them. I will treasure them for a lifetime. (Thanks Brian). We need to compile our language resources, games, or whatever we have found on the internet. It has been fun doing research too, I have learned many subjects as we were guided through this by the instructors. It helps to be focused, we read the Hadley text, I remember I had to tell myself, this is not hard, not hard to read, not hard to comprehend, just think positive and it will come around and you will like it. Surprisingly, it happened. It is a wonderful resource too, as we plan and develop our own curriculum for teaching the language. I have loved reading all the discussions, and being assigned to different groups, it makes it easier to express yourself, when you are with a bunch of trusted cohorts and teachers. Hope everyone had so much fun as I have doing the assignments and attending class as I have. I know the Creator smile upon us, as we learn the language and continue to teach others what we learn. I am so proud of the young ladies in class, they are wonderful role models for other students, and community members, they are doing a wonderful job for Mille Lacs and the Academy. Take care and will see you soon. Please excuse all my typo's. (smile ) Phyllis
Final assignments and work?
Boozhoo Everyone;
It is so nice out today. It is time to start the garden and flower beds. Akina niwi objitoon i'iow gitigaaning, mina nawaa waabigwan, wendaaminogiizhigad oma noongom, I was telling Jeff that all last week, we netted in Mille Lacs. That was an awesome time. I can't began to tell how much all the times I spend with my sons, fishing, camping, netting and eating out, doing all the fun things, it means so much to me as i love, my grandsons and their sons so much. We try to do alot of family things together whenever we can. That is the time too, when I can listen to my language tapes and prepare my lessons for the next week. I have just more class and then it's finals. Tuesday will be my last class for the quarter. It has been fun and quite the learning time for me too. That is one of the extra inventives for me to teach as I can learn right along withthe students. I am so amazed at the students, as they learn, they pick up quite fast on the sound, the tone, and expression of the words. Words seem to pick up meaning as we communicate. I listen close to hear the true sound from them. They in turn, can ask me to repeat as many times as they need to hear clearly what the word or phrase is. They seem to enjoy the reviews and are not stressed out like I thought they would. They like my class and the calmy atmosphere that it takes on. They are also very helpful, and respectful. We made some copies of materials and tapes last class too, and they really enjoyed that I shared that with them. These were old tapes put on to cds. I had permission to use them from the staff at Lac Du Flambeau. They are so helpful too, so is Great Lakes Fish and Wildlife program staff. I order and purchase different items for class from them. They are a wonderful resource to use. I will be teaching Intro. to Tribal Culture, next Fall, not language. But I hope I can fill in or work with the staff in the Language Nest.
It has been truly a blessing for me to be with the Cohort this session. I love all the members and have had fun times online, (smile) when I could get there. You have been wonderful students to be with and work with. In fact I think of you as my family too. We have all worked hard and it showed when we did our speeches. Everyone did wonderfully well on all of the presentations. I was so happy to be a part of it. I will be happy to see everyone at the Language Seminar as we help Brian and learn some more new information and gain some more resources. Gigaawaabimin miniwa noongoom. Dedahgwash.
