 Group Activity:

• History of tattoos

• 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.

• Each group member should create two or three slides and be ready to share that portion of the presentation.
• Each person's presentation time is 1-1 1/2 minutes.
• The presentations will be given Thursday. Be sure your group posts in CANVAS and brings the presentation on a jump-drive.

Homework

Write a draft telling of a personal experience with body art. We will talk about this in class.
Post your draft in CANVAS. This should be 1-2 pages in length.

Be sure to include the who, what, when, where, why, and how of the story. Try to include a bit of dialogue. In other words, tell the story. Since this story happened in the past, please write in past tense. It is the natural tense of the story teller. (50 pts.)

In addition, read two  articles related to your personal body art topic. Summarize each in a brief paragraph. Note the source. Post this assignment in CANVAS. (20 pts.)
