To create our totem poles we used construction paper, markers, and glue. There were four animals we could choose from, so I chose to make an otter. We made our totem pole animals by constructing some 3D parts to attach to the construction paper cylinder body. Along with the 3D shapes, we used markers to draw faces, accents, and designs.
I think that this project could be a great lead into creating a totem pole out of clay. This project gives the students the opportunity to think about working in three dimensions, as well as how they would want their animal to look. In the next project their totem pole would be about the same size, except it would be made up of three clay animals.
