Language Barriers Instruction Sheet Divide the class into groups of 4-5 students. Each group has 5 minutes to write down three different facts about the Menominee treaty period. Please write facts in short simple sentences. Read facts slowly. All other groups will listen carefully to the sentence and interpret what was being said.
Student interpreters can use paper and pencils to help in their translations of the sentences.
Students can state any guesses as to the correct translation. Groups are allowed to work together in translating the sentences. Allow 2 minutes for students to translate sentences forward. If no group correctly translates during that time, read the backwards sentence again. Repeat up to four times.
