Activity:
For this activity, students were asked to create paper masks that resembled animals, as are used in ceremonies by some African people. Students were asked to use certain types of paper techniques like curling, feathering, folding, etc. For my example I used feathers and folding.
Extension:
As an extension activity, I would tie this in with a geography and social studies unit on Africa. As a class we would then create a graphic organizer connecting African masks with as much as we can think of! For example, which other cultures use masks? Why? Which animals are used? Why? Would they have used other music or art during these events? etc. Using this method, I will help to teach my students to make connections and reinforce the spiral curriculum.
