NATIONAL TECHNOLOGY STANDARDS (2016):

1. Empowered Learner

Students leverage technology to take an active role in choosing, achieving and demonstrating competency in their learning goals, informed by the learning sciences. Students:

a. articulate and set personal learning goals, develop strategies leveraging technology to achieve them and reflect on the learning process itself to improve learning outcomes.

c. use technology to seek feedback that informs and improves their practice and to demonstrate their learning in a variety of ways.

d. understand the fundamental concepts of technology operations, demonstrate the ability to choose, use and troubleshoot current technologies and are able to transfer their knowledge to explore emerging technologies.

OBJECTIVE:

• The student will use YouTube video to create origami models. They may also examine the diagrams on http://www.origami-resource-center.com/dollar-bill-origami.html and make an attempt to create an origami design out of a dollar or a comparable sized piece of paper.

LEARNING TARGET:

• I can find a model and follow the directions to create a Dollar Bill Origami.

ACTIVITIES:

1. Watch the YouTube video linked below and fold your money in to a heart:
2. Click on the following link to search YouTube for "Dollar Bill Origami" (https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=dollar+bill+origami)
3. Choose a short video (I recommend less than five (5) minutes and try to fold your dollar into the object shown.
4. Be patient and try again....you'll get it!
5. Choose a second video. Perhaps a longer and more complex model?
6. You may also use http://www.origami-resource-center.com/dollar-bill-origami.html for other ideas/
7. Look for the link for diagrams.
8. Choose one of the diagrams and attempt to create the object with one of the fake bills available in the room.
9. Make certain that you write your name on the project.

SUBMITTED WORK:

• This work should be submitted directly to Mr. Lesnansky. Make certain that your name is on the piece.

LATE WORK/MAKE-UP ASSIGNMENT:

• If you are absent from school or do not complete the assignment on time, you must submit your piece to Mr. Lesnansky. (NOTE: A point deduction may be enforced for late work not due to an excused absence.)

FURTHER RESEARCH AND ENRICHMENT:

1. DoK1: Do you like the videos or the photo maps better?
2. DoK2: Go to www.youtube.com and search for "dollar bill origami". Try another model.
3. DoK3: Can you complete a second model of the same type?
4. DoK4: Can you make something that requires more than one dollar?
