Learning Intentions
•I understand that books have the ability to change the way I think about myself and about my world.
•I am able to look for and identify things in a book that matter the most to me. There are examples of this in my writing.
Questions
1. Olemaun's language slowly came back to her. How did her father help her with this? Why is it important for her to reconnect with her language?
2. Her father had her manage the dog sled on her own and told the family about her accomplishments. She felt "Olemaun grow large inside her". What does this mean? Why is it happening?
3. What made Olemaun's 'best day of her life!' so special? Why do you think that would be?
1: Her father helped her with it by talking English with bits of Inuvialuktun mixed in and its important to her because everybody around her speaks Inuvialuktun and doesn't speak English.
ReplyDeleteI agree with that gabe good answer :)
Delete1.It’s good for Olemaun to remember her language because she will be able to talk with her family and respond to her family’s questions.
ReplyDelete2.When Olemaun’s father said that you handled that like a true Inuk. Olemaun felt more of Olemaun then.
3.Olemaun’s best day of her life was when she got 2 books and doll.
What was so special about getting the doll and the books?
Delete2: It means that she feels more like a Inuvialuktun now and less of a Christian and it is happening because now they are really proud of her and are starting to stop calling her an outsider.
ReplyDeleteDo you think eventually Margaret will no longer exist in Olemaun? Or has her experiences at school changed her forever?
Delete1. Olemaun’s dad helped her reconnect with her language by talking to her in their “tongue” telling her to do her tasks before winter. It’s important because the only person she can talk to is her dad and Agnes.
ReplyDelete3: I think it was the best day of her life because she got 4 presents, the 2 books, the doll and the dog sled.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think the gifts represented for Olemaun?

ReplyDelete2. It means Olemaun feels like she’s more a part of her family and she’s more at home than before. It’s happening because she’s talking Invialuktun and making her family proud and she’s improving on her language.
Question 3 Olemaun’ day got made when her dad took her to the Hudson’s bay company. And a she got two new books a new doll and she got her own dog sled.
ReplyDeleteWhat did the gifts represent for Olemaun?
Delete1. he was teaching her by mixing English and her language.
ReplyDeleteso she can talk to her family / friends .
2. she is forgetting about Margret and relearning about Olemaun. it is happening because she is olemaun is growing and Margret getting smaller and smaller .
3. the best day of her life is when she got the doll. I think it was so special because the doll she got looked like no doll she ever got .
Is there anything else that makes her day so special? Or is it just the doll that revolves around the whole day?
DeleteDo you think she feels like part of her family and culture more now, that she is speaking more of the language of her people?

1 Her father helped her by letting her ride the dog sled on her own and she said Olemaun said Olemaun grew bigger inside of her.
ReplyDelete1. Her father helped out by talking a little bit of Tuk and a little bit of English at the same time p.2) it is important for her to recognize her language because if she can’t she won’t be able to speak to anyone that speaks Tuk.
ReplyDelete2. She ment by she is knowing who her true self is p.2) it is happening because her father is helping her lean her true language and food.
3. I think it was her “best day of her life” by her getting a dog sled pulled by 6 dogs, she got 2 books and the doll she really wanted
ReplyDelete1 Her father helped her by letting her ride the dog sled on her own and she said Olemaun said Olemaun grew bigger inside of her. It’s important because her parents and siblings talk in intuit language and she wants to speak in her language to.

ReplyDelete1. It is important for her so she can understand her language and understand what her family and other people are saying and she is starting to feel good about it now that she is able to speak to her best friend Agnes.
ReplyDelete2. She is starting to become Olemaun she likes Olemaun better than Margaret her dad was proud of her because she was brave when she couldn’t stop the dog sled he was so proud he told the whole family about it and her sisters were jealous of her.
3. Her father had got her the doll she at admired for so long and she liked it because it actually had proper hair and dress that fitted her doll and that made it her best day of her life so she showed her family.
olemauns dad was teaching her more of her language so she can speak to others that are in her culture and her family members. Olemaun is getting reintroduced to her family. she loved the gifts that she got especially the doll.
ReplyDelete2 Olemaun grew larger because she has she own dog sled and able to control it and getting more of the language back too so she feels more like Olemaun.

ReplyDelete1. I think that it is important so she can talk to her family and if anything goes wrong she can tell her mom and dad and ask for help.
2. I think that she feels all grown up because she is the oldest kid and because she is starting to become Olemaun again.
3. I think that it was the best day of her life because her dad got her own dog sled and she got to pick out two books and she got a doll that she really wanted.
I think Olemauns father is helping her reconnect to her language by, communicating in Inuvialuktun, asking her questions in Inuvialuktun, not using English words(unless needed), and so on. But it is important for her to remember, because she will be known as another piece of her family. Olemaun thinks that when her father is saying to the family how proud he is of her, she feels as if Olemaun is revamping inside of her. But in my opinion when Olemaun gets her dogsled (best day of her life) I think she it’s so special to her because, she thinks her father believes in her so much now, that she can get her own dogsled. And since her father got there from his big trip.
ReplyDelete3 She had the best day of her life because she got a doll she likes and her own dogsled she also has lots more books so she’s so happy.
ReplyDelete1. Her father help her by telling her a little bit of her language a time so she could understand what he is saying
ReplyDelete2. I think it means that she can remember Olemaun coming back to her. I think it was happening because she was starting to remember her family and starting to get used to being around them.
3. Olemaun’s best day of her life was when she got her books the doll and the sled with the 6 huskies for Christmas.
ReplyDelete1. It important for her to reconnect with her language to be able to speak to her family. 2. “Olemaun grow large inside her". I think she is proud of what she had done. 3. What made Olemaun’s the best day of her life so special, was that she got her own dogsled, a doll, and two books.
