=Heres the handout ill pass around at the end that has classroom links- how to make it relevant. I can briefly discuss this too (:=

= = = = = = = = =Reflection Qs - Inaz, I forgot your other qs, can you add it and then I'll print them all out?= The session was interesting 1 2 3 4 5 The level of help and support 1 2 3 4 5

Do you feel confident enough to teach Chinese paper cutting to a friend?

Do you feel that the activities were significantly challenging?

What would you improve about the session?

How do you think we could have improved this tutorial to help in terms of learning this skill?

Do you think you would be able to teach someone else a basic Chinese paper cut?

What was successful in this tutorial? Why?

=Home trial=

Had a go at folding, ruling & drawing, & cutting the 'Double Happiness'. I liked it and did quite well, though, room for improvement. Made a couple of small errors along the way and the process, from start to finish for a novice like me, took 15 to 20 minutes. I finished by mounting my 'Double Happiness' on a backing paper.

I will bring this in, as the mounting of the cutting may be an important part of the final presentation process. I have an ample supply of yellow coloured paper for mounting but we would still need a glue stick for each table.

Cheers = = =Proposed Agenda=

Don't know if I'm posting this correctly but, if I have this right, the agenda for our session will be as follows:

P. Survey - for Prior Knowledge on Chinese Paper Cutting.

1. Introduction / Engagement - a) Youtube video on Double Happiness b) Split into groups

2. Activity - Double Happiness cutting, with a couple of epossible entry points, being: a) Square paper with the template cuts printed on - for novices b) Square paper without template cuts printed - for those who fancy themselves a little.

3. Extension - The Green Lantern or other

4. Sharing / Conclusion - a) One from each group show their cutting. b) Peer Assessment

Cheers, Michael

= = =Hey everyone, what do you think of this activity?= http://www.childbook.com/Chinese-Spring-Symbol-Paper-Cut-s/100.htm

It's a 3D papercut decoration. We could use a video as a general introduction to papercutting, then say that we are making a 3D papercut of the Chinese character Chun and briefly talk about its cultural significance/importance during Chinese New Year. What do you guys think? Danielle. = = =ola guys= so i managed to get about 30 pieces of large kinder squares...what do you think you guys can manage to bring? if any? (: naz = = =Hey guys=
