Fourth grade recently completed an intense unit on 19th century photography, self-portraits, and monsters. I wrote a lesson plan last year describing how we turn one perfectly mapped self-portrait into a monster.
I was most pleased with my students' results this year. We added depth with light and shade to our faces and learned a lot more about the history of photography.
I made a slideshow (Are you a monster?) that roughly discusses identity and a monster we'd turn in to. I stole all the images off of Google images. I tried to choose drawings of the monsters as opposed to photos of costumes or movie characters. It was a fun little brainstorming lesson and my students liked seeing the monsters turned into art!
