Student-created masks will be displayed in the E-wing. Honors English II students created constructed masks to symbolize the themes of their readings.
“The criteria was that it had to relate to at least one of the texts and had to have some type of mirror/foil on it,” teacher Nanceen Hoskins said. “They had to present the analysis of it to the class while taking questions from the audience.”
There were four choices of text material: Identity by Julio Noboa, Mirror by Sylvia Plath, The Hoax of Digital Life by Timothy Egan, and A Sound of Thunder by Ray Bradbury. Students chose two of the four to represent.
“I liked the assignment,” sophomore Antonio Jauregui said. “Different viewpoints led to uniqueness of the masks.”
The mask had a criteria which was it had to relate to the text and had to have some type of mirror or foil on it. They also had to present the analysis of it to the class while also taking questions from the class.
“I had a plethora of nicely constructed and thought-out symbolic masks,” Hoskins said. “I love how the students added so much attention to detail and were able to relate the details into in-depth analysis of why they use various materials, colors, and objects for the literary text.”
