Class Experience

US Grade 2 - 5
Students will create an origami dog and learn about ADVERBS.  They will describe their origami dogs in complete sentences using adverbs.

Prior knowledge needed:  Students must be able to identify a VERB (an action word) in a sentence. The word, ADVERB, will be introduced in this lesson.  An ADVERB modifies (describes) the verb in a sentence such as "The dog QUICKLY runs."  "Quickly" is an adverb.

2.	Guided ADVERB Instruction & Oral Practice
3.	Independent Practice / Check for Understanding
4.     Step-by-Step Drawing Instruction

Parental Guidance
Students who want to make an origami dog must bring a square sheet of paper to class as well as crayons, colored pencils, or a marker. Origami paper is 6" x 6" (or 15.2 cm x 15.2 cm). If your child does not have a square sheet of paper, learners can bring a standard 8 1/2" x 11" (22 cm x 28 cm) sheet of paper and a pair of blunt-tip scissors for children to class. I can guide children through the square-cutting process.
Supply List
*  1 - 3 sheets of paper (one sheet needed for the project)
*  Scissors
*  Pen, pencil, crayons, or magic marker
*  Make copies of these three hand-outs for enrolled learners prior to class:  
    "All About My Origami Dog Adverbs" sheet
    "My Origami Dog Practice Writing Sheet"
    "My Origami Dog" Pattern
