The Legend of the Wild Goose



After the 3rd grade came back from their field trip to Plymouth Planation I started this project about a Native American Folk tale. The Legend of the Wild Goose is a Mikmaq tale explaining why we see the geese flying in the v form in the fall. 
This was a lesson of patience for some. Each feather is cut from colored paper and layered just like on real birds. The overlapping is what helps keep the cold air and water from getting to the skin. I have the finished birds in the hallway board.
