In Reading, we read a story called "The Talking Cloth." This story discusses adinkra cloths that come from Ghana, Africa. Adinkra cloths are filled with symbols that tell about the people wearing them. After finishing the story, we made our own adinkra cloths and decorated them with symbols that describe us.
Here are some students using their symbol guides to create their cloths.
Here is an example of a symbol guide. We first planned which symbol we wanted to use on our cloths. Then we used the symbol guide to help us plan out our cloth's design.
This student is creating a red and yellow "R," which means she likes the Redskins. (YAY!)
These students are hard at work!
