6. Guiding Questions
• “What about the old hag made Snow White
thinks he was nice and could trust her?”
• “What was it about her facial expressions?”
• “Did her nice, friendly, and smiling facial
expression help to make Snow White think this
stranger was good?”
• “Have you ever showed an emotion to
someone when you really didn't’t mean it?”
9. Guided Activity
• After students practice in
their seats with one
another…
• Have students volunteer
to come up in front of the
class to make each one of
the different faces
• While they are up there
point out how each facial
expression has different
shapes of
eyebrows, nose, mouth,
eyes, etc.
14. Extension
• Have a lesson on a different culture that
creates masks. You could teach the students
the history of the culture and why they have
masks and how they are made. This could
even tie into a time when your school has
Heritage day.
