Our first activity is based on a book by Michael Hall called Perfect Square
"Be there or be square"
"I won fair and square"
"All squared away"
These are some ways that we use the word square in our speech. We talked about why we might use a square to mean 'fair', or 'uncool', or 'organized'.
Students now had to find a way to make the square more 'cool' by cutting, ripping, tearing, crumpling, folding the paper square. Then they used their creative and flexible thinking to turn their pieces into an object or a scene. We glued these pieces down to paper and used black sharpies to add details.
