Tessellation Monsters 2.0 (5th)

Once (in my first year of school) I learned a project that taught my grade 4 . Like any good story, things sometimes get worse. Although some projects were visible, I was so tired of learning that I decided to pursue another project. But even then, like any good story, this one has a happy ending ... After a three year hiatus from Tesselassie, I'm finally back to my grade 5 with a fantastic Tesla project. Yup!

I started this project with my students on the Teslash key, some of the best known examples in history and then one of the 3 main types of Teslash I created. Translation, rotation and reflection.
After showing them PowerPoint, I gave each of my desks a 3x3 whiteboard, a set of instructions (if students are confused), and a basket with scissors and ribbons. Then I showed them step by step how to create a translation link section with the document camera (see directions on the left).
** The method I learned during this time was to draw student uniforms from corner to corner. They don't bother putting the cut pieces directly on the main cut. You need to be more discriminating with the help you offer to other people. (This sounds confusing ... see the image below.)
Once the students finished their work, I gave them a large sheet of paper and made a mosaic of it with my own hands. It was an opportunity to make sure their work was properly prepared and processed. It was a wonderful opportunity to help those who saw their room was down .
After making sure the motif worked, I asked them to look at the pieces to see what shape they could give (what kind of character or monster). Monsters are really easy because, as I explained to my students, you can take any kind of bubble shape and hit a part of your eye and call it a monster (really). :) I gave my students a 9 x 9 ነጭ white paper to use in their final project.
I encourage my students to use the first edges of the mosaic pieces to help shape their cards. It helps to make sure everything is in order even if you cut some parts of the house. I mean, just because you can't see the whole shape doesn't mean you can't add more detail to their font - you just add what you see.
Once the ink sketch is done (with detailed addition), students are asked to highlight everything and then add ink or ink with ink.

Many of my students have decided to adopt drawing techniques and adapt each shape to their order (instead of repeating the same thing over and over). Doing so has helped a lot of my kids get involved in completing their projects because it makes them a little more creative and a little more repetitive.
