Ms. Jundt's and Ms. Thorne's weaving project was our first peer lessson. We learned about weaving, twisting, warm/cool colors, and tints/shades. For this lesson, we had to tape four strips of newspaper to the side of a piece of a cardboard. Then we had to tape four more strips on the adjacent side of the cardboard. We then had to twist the newspaper strips and then tape them down on the back. When we were done taping them down, we had to choose if we wanted to paint with all warm colors or all cool colors. Students also were told to use at least one shade or one tint in their project. We then could add glitter or ribbon to our weaving project.
Extension Activity: I would have students create a basket design on a large piece of construction paper for Easter. The students could design eggs to insert beneath their weaving to make it look like the eggs are in the basket. Students could also use weaving in math. You could make sure the students measured out the pieces of paper with equal spacing. Students could learn to measure and use a ruler this way.
