Semester Sentences
Use this Google Sheet to enter your sentences. The first time you start working, find the tab on the bottom of the page that says “Student Name” and then click on the small downward arrow next to that and select “Duplicate” and then change the duplicated page so it has your name on it. That is the sheet you will enter your sentences into for the semester. When we share sentences, we will look at your sheet.

Listening Exercise:
Throughout the semester, we will be doing work with Xóotsx̱ X̱ʼayaa Ḵuwdlig̱adi Shaawát as told by Yéil Naawú Tom Peters. The audio and pdf of the story are below.

Resources: Xóotsx̱ X̱ʼayaa Ḵuwdlig̱adi Shaawát (pdf), notes (pdf), chat (txt)

Final Project:
Write a story that is 15-20 sentences long and be ready to share it in class on December 9. Remember to keep your story short and simple. Something that is more day to day conversation is a better fit than a monumental work. Our final class is December 9, and that class will not be recorded or shared.

Midterm Project:
Transcribe and Translate Kag̱eet as told by Aanyalahaash Sam Johnston. Goal: first 30 seconds completed by Dís Yádi 21. Files: audio file (wav), video file (mp4), ELAN file (eaf). Instructions: download all files into the same folder, and open the eaf file after downloading ELAN software.
