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 your or impressed or shocked others?
Make up is also body art. Do you have any stories to go with a make-up experience?

For homework, read

Join one of the six groups listed above. There should be no more that five in any group. Write your topic and names on the board. (One group/one topic)

 

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 and how has it changed over the years? (Consider using a time-line for this.)

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?

When finished, 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. It is your responsibility to make sure that your name is on that first slide.

The last slide will be a Works Cited slide.

 

You will have time to work on this on Wednesday as well. Bring suggestions/slides for your group. Presentations will be given next Monday.

 

Consider working with Google Docs or other format that allows all to post individual work to the final collective whole.
