My Video was too large to publish on my blog, so I’ll just post my lesson plan again.

  • By the end of the lesson, students will be able to
    • Boost their overall patience level
    • Improve their hand to eye coordination
    • Strengthen their understanding of origami
    • Successfully make the origami bear shown in the lesson
    • Be able to envision and describe the shapes when folding
    • Boost their creativity

Prior Knowledge and Learner Profile

  • This lesson can be adapted based on the age of the students in the class. For example, students who are younger can make a simpler creation compared to older students.
    • Students will need to understand patience is key to success
    • Students will need to be familiar with folding techniques and ability to follow direct instructions
