My twisted heart: middle school.Significant Problem: This simple craft lesson combines textured seed pictures with the skill of ropemaking. Essential Concepts: 1. Using natural materials to create a symbolic gift. 2. Experimenting with a variety of textural patterns. 3. Learning fiber techniques for ropemaking. Materials: Pencils, scrap paper scrap paper n → pedazos mpl de papel scrap paper n → papier m brouillon scrap paper scrap n → , glue, tag board, two or more colors of yarn, hole puncher(s), wide tape, two or more colors of dried beans, scissors scissors Cutting instrument or tool consisting of a pair of opposed metal blades that meet and cut when the handles at their ends are brought together. Modern scissors are of two types: the more usual pivoted blades have a rivet or screw connection between the cutting ends Guiding Practice: 1. Trace a symmetrical symmetrical equally on both sides. symmetrical multifocal encephalopathy inherited disease in two forms: Limousin form appears at about a month old with blindness, forelimb hypermetria, hyperesthesia, nystagmus, aggression, weight heart on stiff tag board and cut it out. Use a hole puncher to punch two holes on top of each side of the heart. 2. Starting with the outer row, glue beans and seeds to the heart. 3. Experiment with a variety of seed patterns to cover the heart. 4. Start the ropes by having students choose two contrasting colors of yarn, which they cut into four lengths; two pieces of yarn for each color. Students tie one fat knot at the end of the four strands to hold them together. 6. Next, take two strings of the same color and twist both together until they are very tight and begin to kink. When done twisting, tape the end of the newly twisted double string down so it won't unravel. Take the remaining two strings and do the same. Carefully, hold all four strands together. Twist all four strands as a group--this time twisting to the left. Continue twisting until the entire rope becomes tight and kinky kink·y adj. kink·i·er, kink·i·est 1.

The ends of the rope cord can be trimmed to even. 6. Push the knots at the end of the rope necklace necklace: see jewelry. though the holes in the seed Valentine so the knots are hidden in back. A second knot can be tied to secure the others. 7. Paint the back of the tag board to create a finished-looking gift. Assessing Learning: 1. Have students work in pairs to quiz each other about the steps involved in the process. 2. Ask students to teach the process to younger students.
