Paso 4:  Presentación

Imagine you are are artisan working in Guatemala.  Based on the Webquest readings, present to the class the product you designed on the sketchpad, explaining the materials and methods you "used" to make it, and the meaning of your design.  In your presentation, talk also about where you work and with whom you work.  Talk about the meaning the creative process has in your life.  From whom did you learn your craft?  Do you sell your products as an individual, or do you belong to a group of artisans that work together?  Are your products sold locally or (inter)nationally, in person or online?  Do you interact with the clients who purchase your products?  Who are these clients? For example, tourists?  Do you feel they understand the history and creative processes that define your product? How do you share the story of your craft and its creative process?  How can your clients and others share your story where they live?
