A suggestion for teaching orgami. (estimate 3-4 days)
1)Start with a big piece of butcher paper to demonstrate. You can draw arrows and make numbers (for which step is first) on the butcher paper itself. Go through the steps as a demo.
2)Next, walk the students through it with one butcher paper with lines drawn for folds if needed per group so they do each step( the cranes will be ugly, but they will visualize the steps better)
3) Have students, in groups, write the procedure out in their own words, with diagrams.
This will help studetns identify who is the natural folder in teir group, who is good at procedure writing, and who remembers sequences. These are the go to people to take the heat off the teacher.
4) Afterwards, leave the big papers and group procedures on the table and let them go for it with the crisp paper.
