Learn, how, by working together, we can achieve a goal in Frances Fraser’s delightful re-telling of THE BEAR WHO STOLE THE CHINOOK. All the stories come from Alberta -- a real gift to the world of enchantment and wisdom. Masks, headdresses, coup sticks, props and expressive movement and voices recreate these legends of the Native People with vivid imagination and enthusiasm. “Very good! It fit well with the curriculum and was a terrific introduction to our legends unit. Excellent use of voice modulation to hold attention. The costumes were beautiful and added an element conducive to the development of *imagination* and the sense of wonder.” |
