Activity #1: Peer Editing of your picture/essay about writing. You will need three different people to read your essay. Plan on moving three times.
1. Pull your essay up on the screen.
2. Listen for instructions about the rubric and guidelines for reading and reacting to the writing of another.
3. When you paper has been read by three others and you have notes on the three sections of the rubric, you are ready to take those comments and work on your final draft. It is due on Monday. There is a space on CANVAS for the Final Picture/Writing Essay. (Be sure to make a back=up copy of your work. As much as we love technology, there is always the possibility that something will go wrong. (E-mail to yourself, use Google Docs, or save on a jump-drive)

Group Presentation:
Mini Research Project (60 points)
Body art is much more than tattoos and piercings. It also includes hair design, nail design, make up, clothing to include shoes and hats, and a variety of body modification techniques. Sometimes body art is a way to improve one's appearance. Other forms create a history on the skin of honors earned.
- tattoos
- hair design
- piercings
- body modifications
- clothing/fashion design/shoes/hats
- make-up.( War paint counts!)
- Nail art (toes and fingers)
Select one of the topics listed above.Sign up to work with a group. Write your name under the topic. Topics are listed on the board. Groups are from two to four members.
Conduct a quick Internet search and look for the history and progression of your topic. Keep track of your sources on EasyBib!
Answer these questions. They will guide your research.
A. Where did it begin?B. Why was it done?
C. Did age have anything to do with the "ritual?" Was it a ritual? Was it just for entertainment or fun?
D. How was it done? What were the materials/tools that were used?
E. What did it look in the past and what does it like today? How has it changed over the years? (Consider using a time-line for this.)
Prepare one or two slides or bubbles for each question.
- Prepare a brief document in PowerPoint or Prezi format. If you don't know how to use either, I suggest PowerPoint. It is like a coloring book for adults. Here is a link to instructions, but I think you can just play with it a bit and figure it out. If you prefer Prezi, that is fine with me, but I can't offer much in the way of instructions as I rarely create with it. However, feel free if that is your thing. https://computers.tutsplus.com/tutorials/powerpoint-101-everything-you-need-to-make-a-basic-presentation--cms-19541 or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjcO2ExtHso
- Keep track of your sources. Create a Works Cited page in MLA style. This will be your final slide or bubble. (Revision: Just use the URL and/or title.)
- When finished, post the PowerPoint or Prezi in CANVAS. You should have up to 11 slides including the Works Cited slide.
- The last slide will be a Works Cited slide (Three to five sources are required. Do not use Wikipedia.)

Writing a personal narrative:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=daFHehzgl1g Simple guidelines . . . let's look and talk.
Study the rules for writing dialogue
https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/577/01/
and http://theeditorsblog.net/2010/12/08/punctuation-in-dialogue/
You will need to include dialogue in the personal narrative you will write.
2. Now, think of a a personal Body Art story. Perhaps you have a tattoo or piercing. If so, you could write about the getting it. If you don't have tattoos or piercings, you have probably done something "interesting" with your hair. Perhaps you tried a new style or color that was either wonderful or was just plain awful. Share that experience. Maybe you designed an awesome Halloween costume. Maybe you showed up to a party in formal attire only to discover that it was an informal event. Whatever it is, share the story.
- Identify the characters
- Explain the before and after of the event
- Quote people- what was said?
- Create the setting. Where did the event occur?
- Explain the reactions of those who saw the result.
- Be a good story teller!
- Write in past tense. This has already happened. http://www.grammar.cl/english/past-tense.htm
