Who has worn a mask before? Why? Today we will look at some masks, and make our own.
Show and discuss the mask pictures (who the masks were made by and what they were used for). Compare the masks (what makes them alike, what makes them different, contrast the colors and designs). Model making a mask.
Monitor while students make their masks.
Ask: What is a mask? What types of masks did we discuss today? How did we make our masks?
The students will be evaluated through questions and their finished projects.
