    Lesson 1:

    1. Re-cap on the last lesson and discuss today's lesson
    2. Powerpoint presentation.  "What is Culture?"
    3. Discussion about what defines 'culture' and 'what is culture?'
    4. What makes me who I am? class discussion and listing activity.
    5. Self-Portrait Poster Design task

    Further Learning:

    You are to create an artwork describing who you are.  You are to only use images and symbols to portray yourself.  (use the list we made in class to help you with ideas)

    The overall result will be a form of self-portraiture.

    You must upload this artwork on Mission Heights Online.  Do not include your name on the artwork - we need your artwork to be anonymous.

    We will display these on the projector in the classroom and your peers must guess who you are by only looking at the clues they see in your artwork.
