5th Grade Shibori
I taught a 1-day lesson with 5th grade that was very successful and fun. Something I struggled
with during my placement is having a hook in the beginning of teaching
my lessons. “How will I engage my students in wanting to make this
project?” With this Shibori project, I finally achieved hooking my
students in the project. I gave some background about where Shibori
comes from and what it is. I then gave some quick instruction.
However, I hooked them by showing them the colorful final product
and asking them what 3 colors I used to create all the colors they see
on my fabric. It worked out well and as a result, they had a lot of
fun, learned where this art form originated from, and have a cool
piece of fabric which can be made into something new!
