General Teamwork
Everyone in class is asked to wear a chiton in class during much of this unit. Here is a diagram of how they are folded. You start by folding the sheet in half the short way. In the diagram below you only need to fold it over (C) if the sheet is large. A twin sheet works very well folded in quarters.
Extra Credit!
Add a Greek Key to your chiton. You can find pattern examples here. Put the key pattern on one of the shorter edges of the bed sheet.
