      This demonstrates 7I - "support and expand learner expression in speaking, writing, and other media" because students are writing a profile of a character who stands up against gender stereotypes, it expands their learning through critical thinking in developing a character with this in mind.
  • As you read, stop to elicit student responses to the question: What personality traits and behaviors show us that this character rejects gender stereotypes? Chart student responses. When you are finished reading, help students look back over the list they have come up with. Ask how it feels to read about a character who stands up to so many gender stereotypes.

      This demonstrates 4E - "understand how a student's learning is influenced by individual experiences, talents, and prior learning, as well as language, culture, family, and community values" because students would have prior knowledge in how they think of gender roles through their family/cultural experiences. This could be through toys they have been bought (dolls/toy cars), family roles within the household (who cooks/who does yard work), the clothes they wear, etc.
  • Come together to allow students to share observations. Ask students how they think children’s book authors might contribute to the construction of gender, and challenge students to question whether this is fair.

      This demonstrates 3G - "use a student's thinking and experiences as a resource in planning instructional activities by encouraging discussion, listening and responding to group interaction, and eliciting oral, written, and other samples of student thinking" because students work with a partner to observe what they see in picture books about gender stereotypes and then they come together as a group to share ideas with each other about what they discovered. Students are then asked to think about if the construction of gender is fair. The group interaction helps them learn from each other.

      Standard 3G: Students will be encouraged to share their ideas in a discussion about what the storyteller meant by "coyote spirit." Students are asked for evidence from the story that supports their ideas. This will allow them to perform a few of the skills in 3G, student thinking, discussion encouragement, listening, and responding to the questions asked.
  • 1. Ask students what they know about coyotes. List the various responses. 2. Next, tell students the words they used to describe coyotes could also be used to describe people.

      4E Standard: Students are asked to use prior learning to list what they know about coyotes. This will allow them to make connections to their own personal experiences and prior learning of the subject on coyotes. This may relate to culture and community too as it relates to Native American folktale and the interpretation of the term coyote. The students different descriptions of the word "coyote" are then altered to make connections to how it could resemble people.
  • Ask students to listen for each of these phrases, then ask if there is more than one meaning and discuss. Ask students to continue to provide evidence that supports the meanings they have given. After viewing the video again ask students to write the meanings on the Shulayen Meaning of Words handout.

      7I Standard: The students are asked to listen to each of the phrases from the video. They are asked to support their evidence of the meanings that they are given. This allows the students to fully expand their learning and express what they have learned using the expression of listening and speaking.
