These masks/armour pieces were done by my 5th grade boys. I started off by telling them they were going to design some type of armour (of course this instantly got their attention!) but they could not copy anything from a game, movie, etc. There design could be for the past, present or future and it had to show all or most of the parts of a suit or armour. To help them with this I gave them a few handouts that I found here, here, and here. After their designs were complete I told them they were now going to make the head piece they had drawn. If you look at the pictures, you can see the ideas came straight from a drawing because most of them are missing a back panel. I showed them how to do a basic head band mask and they had to go from there. Yes, there were many doubts as to their ability to make this happen! I could only assure them that it was possible and encouraged them to try and fail, try and fail, try something else, and one of those times...it would work! Voila!
