I have a project the teacher asked us to deisgn a totem pole about our life. What could I do?

I would start at the bottom:rolleyes: and make things that represented important things in my life...
i.e... maybe a symbol (or something) for your mother (birth) topped with something important in your life and so on until you reach what you are today.
Think about important things that have happened to you and then put them in order and put it together. Sorry I can see it, I just have a hard time explaining it.:)
