6th Grade Orgiami Chinese Dragons

Thanks to my student teaching supervising teacher several years ago for this fun project!  Sixth grade students first studied the history and cultural significance of Chinese dragons, looking for common physical characteristics among examples I provided.  Using this website for instructions, the students first folded the head of the dragon.  For the body, they made a simple box fold.  Next, using a limited color palette, the students added details using scrap construction paper.  These colorful and creative dragons will soon be hanging about the room!
