5. Small Group Activity Activity: The Hawaiian Language Designed for: Whole group and individual work in the computer lab Procedure:Read the following paragraph and briefly discuss the differences between our alphabets and the possibility for making words. The Hawaiian Language consists of 5 vowels and 8 consonants. (The letters are a,e,h,i,k,l,m,n,o,p,u,w,’). You will never find 2 consonants together, a vowel always follows a consonant or the vowel stands alone (eg. a lo ha). The ‘okina (‘) diacritical mark or glottal stop is considered a consonant (eg. Ho’olaule’a), note that a vowel follows every consonant. There is also another kind of mark that you will normally see on many Hawaiian words. This is a MARON or KAHAKO, and it is a vowel that has a line over it. The macron is used to show were the vowels are stressed and are somewhat longer than other vowels. (eg. The word aina without the macron over the first “a” would mean “a meal”, and ‘aina with the macron over the first “a” would mean “land”. All students will then go to web site www.hawaii.gov/dlnr/dsp/hawaii.html, click on eduction and then on student resources to find their Hawaiian names and those of their family members to print and take home.
