Standing Cube In Class/Homework Assignment
Students will be creating a Standing Cube based on the information provided during the lesson. Information will be organized into one of each of the following categories (one category will be listed on each side of the cube): geography/climate, economy, society and transportation.
Students will take cube home to be appropriately decorated for homework and will need the information on the cube to complete their comparative essay homework assignment.
Instructions for assembling the cube:
1. Use two sheets of the same size paper. Fold each like a hamburger. However, fold one side one half inch shorter than the other side. This will make a tab that extends out one half inch on one side.
2. Fold the long side over the short side of both sheets of paper, making tabs.
3. On one of the folded papers, place a small amount of glue along the small folded tab, next to the valley but not in it.
4. Place the non-folded edge of the second sheet of paper square into the valley and fold the glue-covered tab over this sheet of paper. Press flat until the glue holds. Repeat with the other side.
5. Allow the glue to dry completely before continuing. After the glue has dried, the cube can be collapsed flat to allow students to work at their desks. The cube can also be folded into fourths for easier storage, or for moving it to a display area. Use with data occurring in fours or make it into a project. Make a small display cube using 8 1/2" 11" paper.
