The main part of the lesson was looking at the picture "Self Portrait" by Buffy Sainte-Marie on p. 30 of Sightlines 10. Our focus was to go beyond the literal image and make interpretations.

Together, through a guided discussion, we learned that the imagine goes well beyond being a literal picture; the imagine has depth and feeling.  Specifically, it reveals the inner spirituality and connection with nature that Sainte-Marie has. The imagine even shows the contrast between Sainte-Marie's connection with the world and how the world has treated her.

Exit Slip Assignment:
