8th grade students at Grant Middle School invented their own unique store front and turned it into 3D paper model with real store elements such as doors, windows, and signs. (2/7/13)
Brainstorming sheet to get students thinking creatively
about what type of store they could possibly come up with.
Each student filled one out before forming their 3-D model.
Some outside the box ideas from the first day:
Second Day
My example that I demoed parts of for every class.
Order of Procedures was especially important for this lesson.
One class I did not emphasis this enough and a few students ran into trouble
trying to add color after their store was already three dimensional.
Available Materials: colored pencils, crayons, markers, scissors, brainstorming sheets, brushes in cans of water (for applying glue) glue palettes, pencil sharpeners, and exact-o knife (that I came around with to help students with small hard to cut shapes.
A few students were so into their design and didn't get to finish in class
so they came during their lunch to continue working.
Students experimented with folding and gluing paper flaps
to get signs and elements of their store front to pop out.
Two simple very successful store fronts that had a strong presence and concept behind their products and cliental.
In the last class a student who finished early decided it would be cool to arrange the stores as they were finished, making a store complex. Which was continued on in the other classes. Setting the store fronts up together was a good reflection exercise to compare results and share interesting store concepts with each other.
