Description: The students first got with a partner or in a small group and put the other person in a position and then had to sketch it on our scratch paper like a stick person. That's how their artist they used did everything was very skinny. We then went to the front of the room with our group and made a group pose while the teacher took a picture. This was a good way to get our brain going and give us some ideas for what we wanted to do for our actual project. We then built our own person with a pose out of pipe cleaners. Next, we wrapped the entire figure in tin foil. Then we stuck the person into a foam block so it would stand up. Lastly, we had to come up with a story for our figure and write it on a notecard.
Extension Activity: For an extension activity, I would relate this project to Social Studies and have them create a significant figure like, a president, founding father, artist, etc. They would then still wrap the whole thing in tin foil, but they would have to give it some features whether its a hat, a belt, or a paint brush in its hand. They would then stick it in the foam block so it stands up. Next, they would right a story about their figure, why they chose to make them and why they are significant. Lastly, they would take turns sharing their figures and their stories with the people at their tables.
