Create a Word document for a Works Cited page here. Then, copy/paste the page into CANVAS.

Let's talk about body art.
 What do you think about body art? Do you have piercings or tattoos? If so, is there a story? (sharing) Consider your hair - styling it is also a form of body art. You might have a story about it as well! How about the way you dress? Have you ever worn something that "changed you or impresses or shocked others?
Make up is also body art. Do you have any stories to go with a make-up experience?
 Group Activity:

• History of tattoos
• History of hair design
• History of piercings
• History of body modifications
• History of clothing/fashion design
• History of make-up.( War paint counts!)

Join one of the five groups listed above. You will conduct a quick Internet search and look for the beginnings or history of your body art assignment. Consider:

• Where did it begin?
• Why was it done?
• Did age have anything to do with the "ritual?" Was it a ritual?
• How was it done? What were the materials/tools that were used?
• What did it look like?

Prepare a brief presentation for the class. Feel free to use PowerPoint to show pictures or to point out amazing facts! Keep track of your sources. Create a Works Cited page for the group. What sources did you use?

Post the PowerPoint in CANVAS. Be sure to include all names of the group members on the first slide. Only one group member needs to post. You will have time to work on this on Tuesday as well. Bring suggestions/slides for your group.
