Explain to students that you will say a definition, and students need to hit the
correct vocabulary word with their flyswatter
Demonstrate how NOT to hit it, and demonstrate the proper way to hit it
*If you hit anything other than the board, your team will lose ALL of their
points! If you dont have any points, you will have negative five points and will need
to earn those back in order to gain any more points!
You will also lose points if you shout out the answer!

Legend of the Lady Slipper

An Ojibwa Legend
A certain village was visited by a dreaded disease. Even the medicine man died; and
with his death all hope vanished.
Although the delivery of messages in winter was unheard of and had never before been
attempted the chief asked his messenger to go to the next village for some medicines.
In those days each chief had a messenger who delivered notices and messages to
distant places. Journeys even in summer were difficult; unheard of during the winter
when there were no moccasins.
Nevertheless, Koo-Koo-Lee prepared to go, but like the rest, he too fell ill. His wife,
anxious for his life, left the lodge and slipped out into the cold. Oblivious to the cold,
almost indifferent to the snow crusts and anxious only to get the medicines for her
husband and the people of her village, Koo-Koo-Lees wife ran swiftly over the drifts. The
next morning the people of the village were startled to hear her cries coming from the
forest. Koo-Koo-Lee; come and get me.
Men and women recognizing her voice ran out into the forest where they found her lying
in the snow, her feet swollen and bleeding from frost bite, but the medicines in her
bundle for her husband and the rest of the sick people in the village. The men carried
her back to her lodge and wrapped her feet in thick, warm deer skins.
While the others in her village were healed, she was unable to be healed. The deer skins
wrapped around her feet became little flowers of pink which looked like moccasins.
These flowers are now know as the Lady Slipper.
