Lesson 16: Put Your Headdress To Work
Time: 60 minutes
Materials: Lesson 16 video; The Daily Doodle digital notebook; cardboard kits; glue and tape; Harvested, recycled and donated wrapping paper, buttons, fabric, etc., plus students collected found objects from cardboard kits.
Overview: Students build parts of their headdresses that have functions.
They learn about how important the headdress is, as one of the most important part of a character’s costume. In addition to the headdress creating a persona, it’s also a piece of functional costume art that serves as powerful tool.
Referring back to all their ideas in The Daily Doodle, students explore how the physical features of their headdresses can be assigned a specific function to help their characters solve the problems in their worlds. They inventory and decide what parts of their headdresses can serve as a tool for their characters by activating a superpower or basic science, representing an idea, message and symbol or reinforcing a topic or meaning of a word or line in their poems.
