#1
Have you ever tried to do something
but failed? Did you give up? Or did you try again? For
her birthday, Kiri was given a book on origami -- the art of folding paper
into beautiful shapes. She is determined to make a butterfly out
of the beautiful tissue paper. She ruins the first sheet she tries
to use. She is afraid of ruining all the paper so she puts the package
away. What do you think will happen? Do you think you can follow
the directions in the book to make the butterfly?
Booktalk #2
Kiri receives a special gift
from Auntie Lu for her birthday. Inside she discovers a package of colored
paper
squares and a book called Origami: The Art of Paper Folding. After much
practice, Kiri makes a perfect yellow butterfly which she happily uses
to fix a ruined watercolor picture. Directions are included so that you
can make an origami butterfly just like Kiri’s. (Jean B. Bellavance
