At the end of the day, we had a henna lesson. We started with a discussion of henna and the importance it has in the Indian culture. Students knew a lot about it and we related it to modern day culture. For example, we talked about henna parties in Indian weddings and the students connected this to bachelorette parties from Western culture – something I did not think of myself! I also had my friend who is very familiar with henna application come in and help the students and they were really excited to see a new face in the classroom. I had thought I would have to work with the boys much more than I had to. They were actually doing fine on their own. I think this was probably because I left the assignment quite open-ended and asked them to explore with their creativity. I allowed them to use their devices to search designs and had images of henna designs on the Smart Board. I had thought some students might not want to use the henna on their body so I gave them an option of applying onto thick Bristol board. It was great fun and learning!
