Week 21: Town Map

Your project for today is to make a places Town map.

Materials:
Poster Board
Pictures of buildings (printed off the internet or cut out of magazines)
Glue (or tape)
Scissors
Word List (you can print it off this page)
Markers

Directions:

Cut out your pictures. Place your pictures on your poster board. Say the names of each place in Ojibwe as you put them down. Don't do this quietly. Cut out the words of the places (in Ojibwe only) from your word list and place them in front of the buildings they represent. Once you have everything the way you want it, glue/tape it together. Using your markers, draw a road around your town. Hang your poster up. Study these words daily. Remember, once you learn the Ojibwe word for something, that's only what you should use.
