Is the idea to show contrasts or just faces who shape society? 
   
  I would suggest:
  Politicians/Activists: Al Sharpton /Barack Obama / Jesse Jackson / Condoleeza 
Rice / Queen Latifah / Common (rapper) 
  Ken Lay / Dick Cheney / John Edwards / Karl Rove / John Stewart 
  Alberto Gonzales/ / Donald Rumbsfeld / 
  Colin Powell 
  Heather Mills / Lalah Ali / 
  Michael Phelps / Kay Yow
  

 
  Tena,

Are you talking about the US or the world? the Dalai Lama? Mao? Beckham? Bono? 
Bart Simpson? King Tut? Mohamed Ali? what about some of the people on youtube?

Do these people have to be recognizable or have done something?What can they 
can tell about these people just by looking at their faces?

Subject: [LIT] Who do you know? Can you help?


It started with my husband. He asked whom we thought
likely was most recognized face in the world. ( My
answer was Jesus, my daughter thought Hitler and my
husband Mona Lisa!) So the conversation progressed to
what faces we thought my middle schoolers would
recognize and who perhaps they should know but
probably don't. I am working on the following ideas.
Students will number a paper with amount of images in
the a Keynote slide show. As I show each slide
students list how many faces they recognize and a
short blurb about the who, whats, and whys...They
shall leave blank those of which they do not know. I
am still trying to decide what kind of follow up and I
will ask the kids to help of course. Maybe shared
research of the unknown faces?...Creation of their own
group keynote? A skit with masks of the contrasting
faces...? 
Last year they did and incredible job with "We Didn't
Start the Fire" and followed up research by writing
updated lyrics...

Some ideas for the Keynote

Judge Judy/Chief Justice John Roberts
Princess Diana/ Mother Theresa
MLKJr./Malcolm X
Oprah/ Harriet Tubman
Hitler/Gandhi
Mona Lisa/ Davinci
George Bush/FDR

Please add to the list
