Process with sculptural headdress

My inspiration to creating my headdress was from a Cinderella Book. The Cinderella book showed stories and pictures of Cinderellas across the globe. I got my inspiration from the Polish Cinderella who in the book was wearing a headdress that was like a cap on top but had long pieces that flowed in the back and had flowers all over it. I thought it was really elegant and feminine. At first, I made the cap using paper tissue. Then I cut long strips of tissue and attached it to the cap. To make the flowers, I scrunched pieces of tissue and put them in cupcake holders. I placed the flowers at the end of the strips and around the cap.
You could use this project in a second grade class by introducing different stories of Cinderella around the world and their perspectives of Cinderella. Then the students could try to imitate one of the cultural headdresses worn by Cinderella in another country. The students would be able to learn about the country’s culture and use their creativity.

According to the California Content Standards for second graders:
Key Ideas and Detail:
-Ask and answer such questions as who, what, where, when, why, and how to demonstrate understanding of key details in a text.
-Recount stories, including fables and folktales from diverse cultures, and determine their central message, lesson, or moral.
-Describe how characters in a story respond to major events and challenges.

Craft and Structure:
- Describe the overall structure of a story, including describing how the beginning introduces the story and the ending concludes the action.
- Explain major differences between books that tell stories and books that give information, drawing on a wide reading of a range of text types (first grade)

Integration of knowledge and Ideas:
-Use information gained from the illustrations and
words in a print or digital text to demonstrate
understanding of its characters, setting, or plot.
-Compare and contrast two or more versions of the same story (e.g., Cinderella stories) by different authors or from different cultures.
