| Making a Book Real World
Activity
Today we are going to pretend we are authors and
illustrators. After we have learned about patterns. We are
going to draw different patterns to make our own pattern book.
You will draw five different patterns to make your book. You may
use any colors, shapes, numbers, or letters to make you patterns.
When you are finished drawing the patterns, you will color each
pattern. You will then make a title page for your book.
After that we will put each pattern together to make "Our Book About
Patterns."

| Steps to Complete Real World
Activity Step 1) Think back to what a
pattern is. Remember it can be made up of anything as long as it
is
repeating. Click here if you need help remembering what a pattern is. Step 2) I will give you 5 pieces of white paper. On each piece of paper you will draw one pattern. Step 3) You will then color each pattern. Step 4) When you are finished making five patterns. You will make a cover page. It will have your name on the front of it and the title "Our Book About Patterns." Step 5) The last step of our activity is to put the pages together. We will staple them together. (I will come around to help you) |
