    MOLLY OF DENALI Episode Descriptions and Curriculum Episodes #101-139 NOTE: EPISODE NUMBERS ARE NOT IN BROADCAST ORDER EPISODE 101: Grandpa’s Drum Molly finds an old photo of Grandpa as a child and is shocked to see him singing and drumming—Grandpa never sings. When Grandpa tells her he lost his songs when he gave his drum away, Molly goes on a mission to find his drum and return his songs to him. Curriculum: IT Learning Goals: To compare texts and integrate information across multiple textual sources when reading or researching (this could, but need not, lead to writing or developing a presentation). Molly and Tooey look at landmarks in a photo taken in the past and compare them to how the landmarks look in the present. To use a variety of language, navigational, structural, and graphical text features (like a photograph) to help access (read, listen to, and/or view) or convey (write, speak, and/or present, including visually) meaning (which vary depending upon the type of informational text). Graphical Feature: Photograph. Molly and Tooey examine an old photograph to find clues that help them discover what town the photograph was taken in. Social Studies: Collect and examine photographs of the past and compare with similar, current images. Classify events as belonging to past or present. Molly compares an old photograph to new images of towns in Alaska to discover what town the photograph was taken in. Alaska Native Value: Honoring your elders. Knowing who you are — you are an extension of your family. Continuing the practice of Native traditions.

  • Princess Daazhraii Johnson's Journey to MOLLY of DENALI Growing Up
    Princess Daazhraii Johnson’s Journey to MOLLY OF DENALI Growing up, Princess Daazhraii Johnson loved watching movies, but longed to see someone who looked like her on screen. Johnson was born in Israel and raised mostly in Interior Alaska. Her background is diverse - her mother’s family is Neets’aii Gwich’in and her late father was Romanian and Lithuanian. As a result of growing up fairly transient in Alaska, never attending one school for more than two years, she faced a lot of adversity. This, and the discrimination she faced as a child, fueled her desire to see a more just and equitable world. It wasn’t until she was a teenager when Johnson saw actress Sheila Tousey’s portrayal of Maggie Eagle Bear’s character in the film “Thunderheart” that she witnessed a strong Native woman on the big screen. Even decades later, Johnson genuinely glows when she talks about how much it meant to see Sheila’s work in “Thunderheart,” a 1992 contemporary western mystery film. Seeing a positive and strong portrayal of a Native woman stuck with her, and she realized how Native people really needed to see more images like the one Sheila helped bring to life. Johnson holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in International Relations from George Washington University, and a Master’s degree in Education from the University of Alaska Anchorage. She gives much credit to those individuals and organizations that inspired and supported her as an artist throughout the years: she is a Sundance Fellow for the Filmmakers, Producers and Screenwriters Lab, and an Emerging Voices Rosenthal Fellow with the PEN Center.

When your kids ask you “why?” see if you can work together to figure out what they need to know or do to find the answer.

  • Listening Guide (PDF)
    MOLLY OF DENALI PODCAST Listening Questions Episode 01: All Aboard! Molly and Trini are excited for their train trip to Anchorage. They’re even more excited when they learn they’re not riding any ordinary train – they’re taking the Mystery Train! Who else is along for the ride and what mysteries will they uncover? What do you remember from listening? 1. Why are Molly and her family taking a train trip? They are going on a birdwatching trip. 2. What is a “bird call”? It is the sound a bird makes, but it is also an instrument, kind of like a whistle, for making a bird call noise to get a bird’s attention. 3. What does Molly say she loves about mystery stories? Finding the clues and solving the puzzle, or problem-solving. 4. What is a Mystery Train? It is a train trip where the passengers play a game and solve a made-up mystery. 5. What friends do Molly and her family run into on the train? Trini and her dad, plus Trini’s chicken, who are on their way to the state fair.
