About This Lesson
Students will look at the Bird and Cornstalk Rug in pairs and discuss Yellowhair’s inspiration from both natural and made-made forms. They will then engage in a creative writing exercise that develops their awareness of symbolism in their daily lives.
Definitely not for elementary or middle school students, as it is not developmentally appropriate. The 9th and 10th could use it, but the connections to the standards are not particularly strong.
