6th Grade Technology Center	
	Throughout E. L. Konigsburg's text, Claudia shows her curiosity for learning about art.  Now, it's your turn.  Check out this link from the Metropolitan Museum of Art and follow these directions:

•	Head a piece of loose leaf paper and be certain to label it as Technology Center.
•	Read the descriptions of both sculptures and examine them carefully.
•	Answer the prediction questions for each sculpture:
o	Look carefully at Fudô Myô-ô—at his posture, his face, and his weapons. Do you see something that might be a symbol of his role as guardian or of any special powers he might have?
o	Look carefully at this mother and child. Do you see something that might be a symbol of their role in the community or of their special powers?
•	After answering these questions, use the links provided to learn about the sculptures.
•	Did anything surprise you?  Were your predictions correct?  Write at least 1-2 paragraphs describing what you learned.
