Papermaking in class

Submitted by Ayotola Oronti on Thu, 07/31/2008 - 8:45am.

        The details of making paper were not as complex and complicated as I had imagined. I never knew it was that possible to make paper in the classroom. The materials are not out of reach and the directions were clearly stated on the hand-outs by Will.

       What is coming to my mind now is that this will be an inquiry activity that will be multi-disciplinary. I can get my students to start the way Will started by asking a history question. I am particularly wondering how someone actually thought about or stumbled on making paper from long ago. I believe my students will have the same question and will need to do a little research which will involve reading and writing. Measurements will take them into mathematics.

     I cannot wait to do this in my class.
