Description
This lesson plan for kindergarten to grade 2 students explores how visual and performing arts can be used to tell personal stories. Students begin by examining an African ceremonial costume and discussing how its decorations, symbols, colors, and materials communicate meaning. They then reflect on ideas, values, or experiences that are important to them and create their own costumes using panels that represent different parts of their identity. Finally, students present their costumes and may use movement or dance to share and explain the meaning behind their designs.
