Paper Project

Summary: For this paper project we did a weaving activity. We learned about some cultures that use weaving. Some of these include Kente and Hutterite cultures. We used three different colors of paper to create our weaving activity. We were instructed to cut our base color into strips and then cut our other two colors. Using the other two colors, we weaved them into our base color. At the ends we cut the excess piece into smaller strips to make it look like a rug.

Extension Activity: For an extension activity I would have my students create a mini basket using the weaving method. This way they could create something useful while also learning about different cultures. I may also find a way to create an opportunity so that the students would be able to show off and talk about their projects.
