1. Review Mexican folk art
2. DEMO the repousse and chasing process.
3. Give students 2 days to design and complete their metal mirror.
4. DEMO how to cut out a border for the mirror. Review radial symmetry. Give students 2 days to design the mirror frame with a mosaic.
See attached rubric.
I did this lesson with the sticky mosaic squares because we needed to move onto the next project. If you had more time, you could definitely spend more time ont he mosaic part, whether by having the students paint and cut their own mosaic pieces out of painted paper, or by doing a drawn frame.

I was interested in the downloadable files but I can't seem to open them. Is there a way to save them in microsoft word?
