Scoring Guidelines:
This assessment is not formally scored except for participation. Revise instruction based on
student responses.
Post-Assessment:
Students will participate in a simulation of an African baby welcoming and naming
ceremony. Student presentations may be assessed at a different time from the actual school or
community event.
Scoring Guidelines:
Evaluate student participation in the simulation using Attachment A, Simulation Rubric.
Instructional Procedures:
Day One
1. Conduct the Pre-Assessment. Divide students into two teams. Ask each team to
brainstorm as many French words describing family as they can in three minutes. Then,
have each team take turns to say one of the words they brainstormed. If they repeat a
word that the other team has already mentioned or they run out of words, their team is
out.
2. Have students read Attachment B, Interview, in which a French-speaking individual
describes a baby welcoming and naming ceremony in Mali. They should also read the
text about the different forms of this ceremony in Morocco by accessing this web site:
www.minicom.gov.ma/french/generalites/culture/akika.htm. Have students work in
groups of two or three to complete the accompanying worksheet, Attachment C, Graphic
Organizer. Have a representative from each group share the group’s results with the
whole class.
Instructional Tips:
Remind students that French-speaking Africa is culturally and ethnically diverse.
Therefore, there is not one single African birth tradition or rite, but rather a wide range of
practices that reflect the continent’s diversity and cultural richness.
To view a naming ceremony in the tradition of the Yoruba people of Nigeria and Bénin,
go to http://www.folklife.si.edu/index.html. Click on on-line exhibitions. Click on A
Nigerian Yoruba Naming Ceremony in the Washington, DC Area.
Additional texts in French describing birth rites and traditions in Africa may be found on
the Internet. See Technology Connections for web addresses and Internet key search
words.
For homework, students could find out how they were named.
Day Two
3. Assign students to groups of two or three. Have each group assign the following roles to
its members: project leader/recorder, lead researcher, presenter.
4. Review Attachment D, Research and Planning Directions, and Attachment E,
Presentation Rubric.
2
Bienvenue, mon petit chou!
Welcome, Little One! – Grade 11
5. Have a representative from each group draw a slip of paper with one of the following
topics to be researched on it: ceremony (procedures and artifacts) and baby’s name; food;
props (clothes, typical gifts for the baby); music (songs and dances).
6. Have each group brainstorm what information they think they will need to research the
topic, possible sources for the information and key words needed to do an Internet search.
Have the recorder turn in the following information by the end of class today: (a) names of
group members and topic; (b) key words.
7. Have groups begin research.
Instructional Tip:
For students who have trouble with time management, post a daily checklist to help them
pace themselves and meet deadlines.
Days Three and Four
8. Have the groups continue their research. The project leader should make sure the research
work is shared evenly by all group members and that the group will be ready to start
working on the presentation on day five.
Days Five and Six
9. Have each group prepare a multimedia presentation (10 – 15 slides) showing the results of
its research and prepare a handout. Have students print handouts of their presentations and
submit to you for reproduction. The presentation must be in the target language and must
contain:
a.) Title slide (topic and names of group members).
b.) Key points (What would parents need to know in order to prepare for this aspect of
the ceremony?).
c.) Any problems anticipated. For example, can all the ingredients or supplies be
obtained in the country of residence?
d.) Suggestions for overcoming these problems.
Instructional Tips:
Reserve the computer lab, or reserve the library computer cart depending on computer
availability in your school. Speak to your media specialist or technology specialist and
ask for assistance in teaching the technology components of the lesson. This includes
teaching students not only how to scan pictures, add sound, crop pictures, and add text,
but also how to make thoughtful decisions about when to use these tools. Also, discuss
with students the responsible use of copyrighted graphics, sound and text.
When students meet with the technology teacher or media specialist to work on their
projects, encourage him or her to engage students in a discussion (in English) of why
certain technologies and materials may be more appropriate than others. For example, ask
students:
What is the information that you want to communicate to your audience?
Who will view your presentation? What is the purpose of your presentation?
Are particular presentation formats better suited for your content, audience and
3

Welcome, Little One! – Grade 11
goals than others? Are there certain benefits to making a web page rather than a
multimedia presentation or vice versa?
What information is communicated by a particular image, sound or passage? What is
gained by adding a particular image or sound to your presentation? Does the
inclusion of an authentic photo from the target country have the same effect as the
inclusion of a picture from the U.S.?
Day Seven
10. Have groups present multimedia slideshows in the target language. Have group
presenters facilitate this activity.
11. Review Attachment A, Simulation Rubric and Attachment F, Simulation Directions. Set a
date for the simulation.
Instructional Tips:
Student presentations may be assessed at a different time from the actual school or
community event. Remember to coordinate with colleagues and administrators regarding
presentations at a school or community event.
Remind students to hold on to the handouts from the presentations. They will need to
refer to them when preparing for the simulation.
Days Eight and Nine
12. To prepare for the simulation, have students stay in the same groups they were in for the
multimedia presentations. Ask them to review Attachment F, Simulation Directions. To
determine the group’s roles, have a representative from each group draw a slip of paper
with one of the following assignments on it:
Group 1: Parents, grandparents of baby
Group 2: Cousins
Group 3: Neighbors
Group 4: Friends
13. Have students assign roles within groups and begin organizing the group’s work so that
everyone knows what to bring, say or do per Attachment F, Simulation Directions, and
per Attachment G, Checklist for Expressive Art Form.
Instructional Tips:
Remind Group 1 that they will need to have the order of ceremony sheet ready at least a
day before the simulation so that you have time to reproduce it.
Remind Groups 2, 3 and 4 that their groups are responsible for bringing a baby gift (one
per group, no more than $5). Emphasize that the gift does not have to be new. It could
come from a garage sale, charity or thrift store, or could be handmade.
Remind all groups to prepare a culturally appropriate dish to share on the day of the
simulation. Ask them to bring a list of ingredients for students who may be allergic to
certain foods or diabetic.
4
Bienvenue, mon petit chou!
Welcome, Little One! – Grade 11
Remind students to practice their song, music, dance, story or other form of artistic
expression.
For students having difficulty creating the song, dance, story or other form of artistic
expression for the ceremony, suggest that they create graphic organizers or webs.
Have resources (books, web sites, CDs, etc.) available to students to help them find
culturally appropriate names, recipes, music, dance or other kind of artistic expression
and dress. Information in French is most easily found on-line. See Technology
Connections for Internet key search words and suggested web sites. Consider reserving
additional time in the computer lab or library for additional research.
Day Ten
14. Have the students present the simulation.
Instructional Tip:
Have someone record the simulation. Use the recording to debrief the assignment (see Day
Eleven). You could also exchange the recording with another class or school as an alternative
to live performance.
Day Eleven (the day after the simulation)
15. Debrief the assignment by watching the recording of the simulation as a class. Hold a
class discussion. Ask students to consider the following questions:
Dans quelle mesure était la simulation authentique du point de vue culturelle? (How
culturally authentic was the simulation?)
Est-ce qu’il y avait quelques aspects de la simulation qu’il vous a fallus
occidentaliser? Si oui, pourquoi? (Did any aspect of the simulation have to be
“Westernized”? If so, why?)
Quelles différences culturelles est-ce que vous avez noté? (What cultural differences
did you observe?)
Comment est-ce que vous changeriez la simulation, si l’on le refaisait? (What would
you do differently next time?)
Differentiated Instructional Support:
Instruction is differentiated according to learner needs to help all learners either meet the
intent of the specified indicator(s) or, if the indicator is already met, to advance beyond the
specified indicator(s).
When grouping students for instruction, use different strategies to optimize learning for
all students. For example, while many students benefit from being grouped
heterogeneously, recent research suggests that gifted and talented students benefit from
working in homogeneous groups.
For students who have trouble with time management, post a daily checklist to help them
pace themselves and meet deadlines.
5
Bienvenue, mon petit chou!
Welcome, Little One! – Grade 11
Extensions:
Have students perform their song, dance, story or other form of artistic expression at
multicultural assemblies or community events.
Have students research naming ceremonies in other African countries to determine
similarities and differences.
Home Connections:
Ask family members, friends or neighbors when they named their newborn and whether
they had any kind of celebration to welcome the baby. Ask them if they have ever
attended a ceremony different from those typical of their cultural background. If so, what
were their reactions?
Have students discuss with older adults if certain ceremonies or rituals have changed over
time.
Interdisciplinary Connections:
Technology
Standard 4: Technology and Communication Applications
Benchmark A: Apply appropriate communication design principles in published and
presented projects.
Indicator 4: Select and evaluate message-appropriate designs for print, multimedia, video
and web pages for curricular and personal needs (e.g., silly graphics may not be appropriate
for academic projects).
Students use multimedia technology to design a message-appropriate slide show using
presentational software.

Classrooms. 5th edition. Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice-Hall, 1995.
When any student has difficulty acquiring skills, the teacher adapts instruction to better
meet the student’s needs. Adaptations can include:
Clarifying task directions.
Adding prompts to assist students in task performance.
Correcting specific student errors.
As an alternative to grouping students of similar ability or with similar skills, teachers
may group students heterogeneously. This has the advantage of providing students who
have not acquired the desired skills with peer models who have, and gives all students an
opportunity to learn how to work with different kinds of people and improve their social
skills.

Helping students manage their time and meet deadlines is important for academic
success and can include the following:
Providing a daily schedule.
Providing time cues.

Techniques Every Teacher Can Use to Meet the Academic Needs of the Gifted and
Talented. Minneapolis, MN: Free Spirit Publishing, 2000.
Depending on the type of learning task assigned, gifted students benefit from working
with each other in homogeneous learning groups even if other students in the same class
do better in heterogeneous groups.
General Tip:
The estimated duration includes time for four groups to present on day seven. Adjust
accordingly if you have more or less than four presentations.

Interview
Cet article est le sommaire d’une interview avec une personne francophone de Mali qui
habite maintenant dans l’Ohio. L’interview a eu lieu en 2005 dans l’Ohio. Cette personne
décrit la cérémonie du septième jour de la naissance selon les traditions de son village natale.
“La naissance d’un bébé est une très grande joie. Une nouvelle naissance, c’est une nouvelle
chance. Le baptême a lieu une semaine après la naissance, c’est-à-dire sept jours après la
naissance. Toute la famille se retrouve. On égorge un mouton. Chacun contribute de l’argent,
des vêtements, un peu de tout.
C’est le père qui donne le nom. Le choix du nom est souvent fonction de la reconnaissance.
Par exemple, mon père était élevé par son oncle. Pour reconnaître ça, il m’a donné son nom,
Diawoye. Les facteurs religieux sont importants aussi. Mon père a donné ma soeur le nom de
Fatoumata, d’après la femme du prophète Mohammed.
Le jour du baptême, les hommes se réunissent dans la famille pour prier. L’Iman* vient de la
mosque. Il demande le nom de l’enfant au père qui le donne. Puis, l’Iman récite les versets
coraniques, bênit l’enfant et l’accueille. Quand on annonce le nom, la griotte** commence à
chanter les louanges et on égorge le mouton. Ensuite, on donne à manger aux gens. Si c’est le
matin, on boit du café au lait.
Dans l’après-midi, les gens reviennent pour manger le mouton et boit du thé. Vers seize
heures, c’est les femmes qui se réunissent autour du tam-tam***. Elles dansent et la griotte
chante. Puis, elles donnent leurs contributions à la mere. Généralement, c’est du savon, les
habits pour le bébé , les couvertures et de l’argent aussi.”
*L’Iman – un leader des prières de la foi musulmane.
**La griotte (le griot) - une femme qui appartient à une caste spécialisée de musiciens et de
conteurs de l'Afrique de l'Ouest.
***Le tam-tam - un tambour qu’on frappe à la main.

Interview
This article summarizes an interview with a French speaker from Mali who now lives in
Ohio. The interview took place in 2005 in Ohio. This person describes the baby welcoming
and naming ceremony that takes place on the seventh day after birth according to local
tradition.
“A baby’s birth is a great joy. A new arrival is good luck. The baptism (Sic.) takes place a
week after the birth, that is to say, seven days after the birth. All the family comes together.
We slaughter a sheep. Everyone gives money, clothes, a bit of everything.
The father names the child. The choice of the name is often an acknowledgement of
gratitude. For example, my father was raised by his uncle. He gave me his name, Diawoye,
out of gratitude. Religious reasons are important too. My father gave my sister the name of
Fatoumata, after the wife of the prophet, Mohammed.
On the day of the baptism, the men gather together to pray. The Iman* comes from the
mosque. He asks the name from the father who gives it to him. Next, the Iman recites verses
from the Koran, blesses the child and welcomes him or her. When the baby’s name is
announced, the griotte** begins to sing songs of praise and we slaughter the sheep. Then, we
give people food. If it’s in the morning, we drink coffee with milk.
In the afternoon, people return to eat the sheep and drink tea. Around 16.00 hours, the
women gather around the tam-tam***. They dance and the griotte sings. Then, they give
their gifts to the mother. Generally, it’s soap, clothes for the baby , blankets or money.
*The Iman – a prayer leader in the Muslim faith.
**The griotte (the griot) – a woman who belongs to a caste of musicians and storytellers
from West Africa.
***The tam-tam – a drum that you beat with your hand.

Research and Planning Directions
Objective: Research and plan a traditional baptism or naming ceremony for a new baby.
Scenario –A baby is born in France. His or her parents have recently arrived from a French-
speaking African country and wish to hold a traditional baptism or naming ceremony on the
seventh day after the child’s birth. However, they are not sure of the procedures. With the
help of friends and family, they research, plan and hold a traditional ceremony to name the
baby and celebrate the newborn’s safe arrival.
Day One
1. Work in groups of three or four. Assign the following roles: project leader/recorder, lead
researcher, presenter.
2. A representative from each group draws a slip of paper with one of the following topics
to be researched on it: ceremony (procedures, artifacts) and baby’s name, food, props
(clothes, typical gifts for the baby), music (songs and dances).
3. The group brainstorms what information they think they will need to research the topic,
possible sources for the information and key words needed to find information on the

Simulation Directions
Objectif: Créer une simulation d’une fête de la naissance d’un bébé.
Mise en scène: Un bébé est né en France. Ses parents viennent d’un pays africain
francophone. Ils voudraient faire une célébration traditionelle du septième jour de la
naissance du bébé, mais, ils ne savent pas quoi faire. Aidés par la famille et les amis, ils
recherchent les coûtumes et font une célébration traditionelle pour prénommer le bébé et à
fêter son arrivée.
Notes. Voir Attachment A, Rubrique de la Simulation
Renseignements: Convenez ensemble une date pour la simulation. Travaillez avec les mêmes
personnes avec qui vous avez travaillé quand vous avez fait les recherches pour la
simulation. Un représentant de chaque groupe tire un morceau de papier sur lequel est écrit
les informations suivantes:
Groupe 1: Les parents, les grandparents du bébé. Il vous faut aussi une poupée.
Groupe 2: les cousins
Groupe 3: les voisins
Groupe 4: les amis
Prénommez-vous en français!
La cérémonie: Groupe 1, donnez un nom au bébé. Créez une programme pour les invités
pour leur expliquer ce qu’ils doivent faire et dire pendant la cérémonie. C’est le grand-père
du groupe 1 qui dirige la cérémonie et célèbre les rites.
Le Costume: Chaque personne doit porter quelquechose d’authentique pour la simulation.
Les Mets: Chaque groupe apporte un plat typique de la région.
Les Boissons: Groupe 1 apporte des tasses et des assiettes en plastique, des serviettes, des
fourchettes et des cuillères.
Les Cadeaux: Groupes 2, 3 et 4 apportent des cadeaux pour le bébé. Ne dépensez pas plus de
$5 par cadeau. Vous pouvez aussi faire un cadeau. Après la simulation, on les donnera à une
fondation charitable.
La Célébration: Chaque groupe doit créer et présenter une oeuvre artistique (par exemple,
une chanson, un poème, un jeu de rôle, etc.) pour accueillir le nouveau-né.

Simulation Directions
Objective: Simulate a traditional baptism or naming ceremony for a new baby.
Scenario: A baby is born in France. His or her parents have recently arrived from a French-
speaking African country and wish to hold a traditional baptism or naming ceremony on the
seventh day after the child’s birth. However, they are not sure of the procedures. After
careful planning and research with help from friends and family, they hold a traditional
ceremony to name the baby and celebrate the newborn’s safe arrival.
Grading: see Attachment A, Simulation Rubric.
Directions: Work in the same groups you were in to do the research for the simulation. Each
person will have a role to play. A representative from each group draws a slip of paper with
the following roles on it:
Group 1: Parents, grandparents of baby. You will also need a baby doll.
Group 2: Cousins
Group 3: Neighbors
Group 4: Friends
Be sure to give yourself a culturally authentic name!
Ceremony: Group 1 members choose the baby’s name. They also create an order of
ceremony sheet to pass out to the guests so they know what to do and say at the appropriate
time. The grandfather in Group 1 leads the ceremony and performs the rituals.
Costumes: Group members are individually responsible for creating culturally appropriate
clothing to wear on the day of the simulation.
Food: Each group brings a culturally appropriate dish to share.
Beverages: Group 1 brings cups, napkins, plates and plastic forks and spoons.
Gifts: Groups 2, 3 and 4 bring gifts (one per group) for the baby. Do not spend more than $5
per gift. The gifts can also be homemade. Gifts will be donated to charity.
Celebration: All groups create and perform a culturally appropriate original song,
Dance, puppet play, story or other kind of artistic expression that can be
performed to welcome the baby to the world. It must contain words!
23
