You might try this out on an upper-level conversation class -- sure got my group going this afternoon ..

A panel of judges chose this sculpture to occupy the long-empty statue base in Trafalgar Square in London.



www.onestopenglish.com has a nice lesson plan based on an article about it from the Guardian. There are more images here: www.fourthplinth.co.uk/marc_quinn.htm

I distributed the pictures first without explanation to get initial responses & they were all over the map. The figure pushes quite a few Korean buttons (not just Korean for that matter). Then I passed around the article, which took it from the abstract to the uncomfortably real, including quotes from the woman who posed. Much moral confusion & heated debate! Shook up some mindsets.

Brilliant piece of work in my opinion.

Schwa, my old friend, you've been alone too long.
