(PP) Pass out an activity card (Resource 6a) and a bag of materials to each group.
❖ Read the card and then discuss the questions on the slide. Then, create your sculpture to
represent that kind of relationship.
❖ Remember, this activity is not about creating great art. Brainstorm symbols and images,
and have fun! Use your imagination.
❖ You will have ten minutes total to read the card, discuss the questions, and then make a sculpture.
Instructor Note: Play music while they work and give a 5-minute and then a 2-minute
warning before calling time.
Debrief and process (2–4 contrasting ones, depending on time):
❖ Everyone please get up and gather around a group and their sculpture.
❖ Ask those gathered around: What do you see in this sculpture? Does it look healthy or
unhealthy to you? (Invite ideas for just a moment.)
❖ Now, the group has the floor to interpret their sculpture. (Validate and use their
interpretation as a springboard for a discussion.)
❖ When that group is done: Will one of you now read your card aloud to the whole group, please?
Repeat this process with one or more sculptures. Have a round of group applause after
each. Note: Be sure that you process at least two: one healthy and another unhealthy. If
you have time, do four or all five.
