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?

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 Tena ____________________________________________________________________________________ We won't tell.
