-Note: I didn't have time Friday to update the Blog (I don't have internet access at home) so this is actually a Monday Post.
The most important things about Friday that day was the presentation I put together on Chinese Theater masks. You see, Ms Curtain decided one of her 8th grade classes should be given the culture to research and asked my opinion. The Chinese masks seemed the obvious choice being recognizable, flexible and they would have to focus mainly on one thing: colour and what it represents in the Chinese theater. I had only a little understanding so I spent much of my time trying to pull together a powerpoint and understand the subject. I believe I used about...2-3 periods which I thought was a decent amount of time for a detailed presentation. There was one website I found was particularly useful and though I double checked with other sources I thought it was so good I gave it to the class in the end.
Before the presentation I started to feel worried that either it would be too complicated for the class to understand or they wouldn't find it interesting or engaging. But once I got the ball rolling they did seem to take to it and asked a lot of questions that showed they truly wanted to understand.
Ms. Curtain posted the two presentations online for the students to find. I'll be posting the two presentations here as soon as I can figure out a way to do so.
