Transparent Language Activities

Word Dictation was the most helpful for me, because for me listening and spelling the word out seems to fit my learning ability.
For the least helpful would be the crosswords, was never into them.
When viewing all the activities, they all help in some form, because of just hearing and seeing how words are spelled.

Words that seem to standout and used quite frequent are Miigwetch & Asema "Protocol"

Elements of Thinking

Cognitive Theory

Definitions, laws, principals or models are linked to concepts in how we think and process information. With restructuring as proficiency develops, our internal thoughts tend to shift openmindedly within alternative sytems of thought to recognize and assess as need be to think critical which is self-directed, self disciplined, & self monitoring. This requires our thinking to be rigourous. With cognitive processing, Natives can adjust to a parallel fashion of story telling in how it relates to phrases rather than a sequential thought process of English speaking ways.

Ojibwe Prayer

As I watched the videos and how they are made. Thinking of the protocol when producing, such as visiting elders or people which involves offerings of tobacco, gifts, and food. As I venture into this technology journey and looking forward to our class in the fall where we can produce something. As I look at my personal goal that I think is in reach, I want to share this paryer in class Sunday March 1.
