BOOPPPS! Project

Min-Chee's ORIGAMI ACTIVITY!

Bridge: The bridge in this activity will be showing my students three different objects, one at a time. First, I will take out an origami rose and ask them what they think it is. Then, a crane, and finally a jar of paper stars. Ask them what in common these objects have with each other. Then talk a bit about the meaning of origami.

Teaching Objectives: From my lesson, I hope that I will be able to incorporate my lesson in such a way that my students will be able to learn in a very hands on fashion and through modeling.

Learning Objectives: The students will be able to learn how to fold an origami object based on their levels and as well, develop an understanding and appreciation for the joy of this folding art.

Pretest: Ask if they have had any folding experience before, and if they did- what have they folded?

Participation: I will demonstrate how to fold the object, and in a circle, each student will take a turn folding.

Post Test: Hand out origami paper to every student, and assess them by seeing if they are able to fold the objects on their own. If they need a helping hand, have the student next to them help them out a bit since teaching one another is a great method of learning.

Summary: By the end of this lesson, the students will hopefully be able to fold an origami creature. If not, they will be able to learn at least a few basic steps of folding.
