Symbolic Mask Project

"Is beauty truly in the eye of beholder?" was the essential question that the students focused on while reading and discussing "the lesson of the moth" and "Identity".  After analyzing the symbolism in both poems, the students were tasked with designing their own masks that represented who they are on the inside.  The students were instructed not include images that have to do with their outward appearance.  Instead of the masks covering students' identities, the masks that the students created were used to represent those traits that others may not usually notice.
