PAGE What is alginate, and how is it used? (a rubber-like substance that can be sculpted for masks) PAGES 10–11 How does the pair of photos help explain how a mask connects to an actor’s skin? (It shows the makeup artist using a brush to smooth the contours of the mask and blend it in.) PAGE 15 What is the last step in the creation of false teeth? (The actor tries them on, and adjustments are made if the teeth hurt.) Have students make a Sequence graphic organizer for each type of makeup discussed First, they should write the steps of the mask-creation process They can follow the same procedure for teeth and wigs 68 The Art of Makeup: Going Behind the Mask 16911_LRD_TG_068-069 68 1/4/06 9:50:54 AM REVISIT THE BOOK READER RESPONSE Possible response: They helped explain each step in the process Responses will vary Possible response: It provides the setting for the action Possible response: The process is long and complicated, and it involves some potentially dangerous materials EXTEND UNDERSTANDING Focus students on page 15 of the book Ask: What is the author trying to show with these two photos? How does including both photos help us to understand the teeth-making process better? Also, invite students to look at the drawing and inset photo on page 17 Ask: Why did the author include both of these images? RESPONSE OPTIONS WRITING Have students work in groups to create a character and describe the special mask, teeth, and wig it would need If possible, ask a student from each group to draw the character Then have students present their group creations to the class WORD WORK The vocabulary for this book includes two compound words (background and landscape) Remind students that a compound word is a single word made of two words joined together Ask students to come up with five additional compound words, define them, and share several with the group SOCIAL STUDIES CONNECTION Have students use the Internet or library to research the process, created during the reign of Louis XVI, of ventilating to create wigs Encourage students to find images to supplement their research Students may also enjoy researching famous makeup artists from the film industry Skill Work TEACH/REVIEW VOCABULARY Have students define vocabulary words they know and discuss words they don’t Note the two vocabulary words that have prefixes (prehistoric and reassembled) Define these prefixes for students (pre- means “before”; re- means “again”) Invite students to suggest other words with these prefixes TARGET SKILL AND STRATEGY GRAPHIC SOURCES Remind students that a graphic source is a way of showing information visually Graphics used in this text include photos with captions Several of the photos show steps of a process, such as the photos on pages 10, 12–13, and 14 Explain that these two- or three-step photo diagrams are meant to help students see the steps of a process in order PRIOR KNOWLEDGE Tell students that prior knowledge they have obtained from reading or from life experiences can help them to understand this book Any student who has had braces or who knows someone who has will know about dental impressions And most students will have seen films featuring heavily made-up actors or actresses As they preview the book, students can connect this prior knowledge with the graphics ADDITIONAL SKILL INSTRUCTION MAIN IDEA Remind students that it is important to understand the main ideas of this book so they understand how makeup artists create masks, false teeth, and wigs Then model for students the process of finding the main idea First, ask students to look at particular paragraphs Then ask: What is the most important idea about this topic (the main idea)?
