— For discussion: Are masks important today? We might not think so, but masks are still being used in many ways. For example:

- In the operating room to prevent the spread of germs

- As protection for painters and builders

- During burglaries

- In the theatre

-Where else do you see masks being used, and for what purposes?

— For discussion: Can your expression be considered a mask of sorts? What expression do you wear in a strange city? Is it different from the expression you wear with a friend? With a parent?

— In your journal, document new and old ideas about masks and expressions and the way the are used.
