Newbie Looking for Lesson Plans

[Tad030]

Hi everyone. I'm new to this forum, and I'm looking for origami lesson plans that would be appropriate for 3rd-5th grade students. Any ideas or suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks!

Something I think is very nice for teaching and also is presented in a nice way are those two pages for traditional designs:

It gives a good and quick introduction into the basic folds and bases, and you should be able to split it up into several lessons depending on your needs.

So long and keep folding ^_^

What kind of lesson are you wanting to use origami for?
Math?
Culture?
Art?
Something else?

i'm looking for all the above actually. i will be hosting origami workshops in the spring, so i want my lessons to address a myriad of subjects. folding animals will be my main focus, as i will be hosting the workshops at a nature center.
