Students will fill out an exit slip with the following questions:
1. What group of people did we get our inspiration for creating their jewelry from?
2. What is it called when you repeat colors, lines or shapes?
1. I made sure students had a bag to store the pieces they cut from the plastic containers. Labeled with names so their jewelry when baked wouldn't get mixed up.
2. Try and make sure students add lots of color turns out much better.
3. I collected the used plastic salad containers from the lunchroom for the plastic. Just make sure it is 5 or 6. You can get 2 students projects from 1 salad container.
