Totem Poles


In order to make the totem poles, we chose a light-colored piece of construction paper. We could either draw on the features of the animal or use more construction paper to make 3-d parts. I chose to make an otter and used both construction paper and markers to add to my animal. We were required to include three colors and two patterns.

An extension activity would be to have the students make the poles into people they admire (historical or current public figures). For example, if someone really liked Thomas Jefferson, they could try to make a totem pole that looks like him. Then on note card attached to it, the student could example why they chose that person and a few interesting facts about them.
