Especially for the Grade 12s ....... but interesting .......
The Day has some great activities we can think about this week.

Consider Slave Labour, or another piece of street art that you particularly like. Write a short analysis of how it draws meaning from its particular context and place. 2. Go on a search for graffiti, and create a short film or photo essay about the street art in your area.
