Literacy THE LIT TLE RED HEN with Centre for Puppetry Arts This classic tale comes to life through an interactive performance led by puppeteer Jeffrey Zwartjes. Colourful hand puppets tell the story of a hen who finds a grain of wheat. She wants to harvest the wheat but none of the other barnyard animals will help her, so she decides to do it all herself. Will Little Red Hen share her bounty with the other animals? Your students decide! Lessons of hard work, responsibility, sharing, and helping your neighbour ring true in this timeless tale. Students will have Q & A with the puppeteer following the performance. http://www.tigurl.org/lilredhen AUTHOR VISIT: A PROMISE IS A PROMISE with Michael Kusaguk Michael grew up living in igloos, sod huts, and tents. He travelled by dog team following the caribou, or living on the sea ice so that his family could hunt seals, whales, walrus, and catch fish to eat. Michael uses his experiences growing up listening to stories told by his grandmother in his storytelling sessions. He weaves these traditional stories with his life stories. Michael has seen tremendous change in the past 60 years. Michael's sessions are usually 1 hour in length. THE ROUGH - FACE GIRL with Frontier College Explore Rafe Martin's The Rough-Face Girl, a story about three sisters who live in an Algonquin village by the shores of Lake Ontario. Session includes a guided imagery activity to design your own moccasins. Guided imagery is a fun activity to introduce a story that a class has never seen before; as this story is read to them, they may discover a twist on a well-known fairy tale. Listening to a story without seeing the pictures allows students to focus on the author's words and see the story in their own mind view. This workshop will allow students to practice their prediction, writing and art skills. This activity is best for Grade 4-8 students. TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD IN IMAGES with Cleveland Museum of Art This lesson uses historic photographs and works of art from The Cleveland Museum of Art's collection to help students become familiar with the sort of visual environment that may have inspired author Harper Lee.
