...Topic: How to make a paper heart Specific Purpose: To teach the audience the history and how to make paper hearts Thesis Statement: The audience will learn how to make a paper heart in less than 10 mins Introduction Attention Getter: So this might take you back to the good times and maybe show my age Transition: As a kid in middle school my friends and I would write notes back and forth to each other. And there came a point in time where either we got to sloppy with it or the teachers got really smart because they started seeing us and taking the notes and reading them to the whole class, and at this time most of our letters were who liked who . So of course nobody wanted that information to get out. So we came up with making paper hearts, and we would put them in the front of our folder so it looked like art and if the teachers seen us passing it around they would think we were just giving it to our friends to put inside their folder. Credibility: When I first started middle school I didn’t know that writing notes in class was such a big thing. I thought texting each other was a lot better but I see I was wrong not many phone companies had the unlimited plan till after 7pm. So unless you wanted to get in trouble by your parents later you were writing notes to each other in class. Thesis Statement: I’m going to tell you some of the history and then show you how to make a paper heart Preview: Tonight I will tell you what paper hearts can be used for and how...

...Making Geometry Fun with Origami Lucila Cardenas Vega University of Texas at Brownsville Introduction Teachers must have an understanding of students’ mathematical thinking in order to create meaningful learning opportunities. This becomes more relevant when teaching subjects that not all students have an interest for, such as, geometry. Since geometry is the study of shapes and configurations, it is important to understand how a student thinks about the different properties in geometry including, symmetry, congruence, lines and angles. Students remember a lesson better and the information becomes more significant when learning is accessed through hands on activities. (Pearl, 2008). Origami is the art of transforming a flat sheet of material into a finished sculpture through folding and sculpting techniques. The use of origami can be thought of as art; however, there are so many other benefits of incorporating origami in geometry lessons. According to experts, origami teaches students how to follow directions, encourages cooperation among students, improves motor skills and it helps develop multi-cultural awareness (Weirhem, 2005). Origami activities used in geometry lessons reinforces vocabulary words, facilitates the identification of shapes and simplifies congruency and symmetry (Pearl, 2008). In origami, students take a flat piece of paper and create a figure that is three dimensional. The use of origami in geometry is not new. Friedrich Froebel, the founder...

...Origami Owl; a Customizable Locket Line Author: Silky Rosales MGT 450: Strategic Planning for Organizations Instructor: Charles Jarrell Date: August 30, 2013 Most recently I was talked into joining Origami Owl. I learned about the company through a coworker who invited me to a “Jewelry Bar” in her home. Origami Owl is a line of fashionable and meaningful jewelry that is unique to each customer who creates it. Currently, there are over 40, 000 Independent Designers and the company started only two years ago. My reason for joining was really to just start a collection of my own at a discounted price. The party was quite fun, it was relaxed and everyone was very welcoming to me. After sitting through the presentation and watching the women just fall in love with the pieces, I thought to myself how easy the money was to be made. The company was founded in October 2010 by a then 14 year old who wanted to buy a car when she turned 16. Bella’s parents made a deal with her. If she wanted to create a business and earn the money, they would match her investment. With $350 in babysitting earnings and the $350 matched by her parents, she invested in some clear lockets. Bella hoped to earn enough to buy an old truck-$3,000 to $6,000 but, it became apparent that she could earn so much more with her new business. She decided that selling customizable jewelry to her friends and family was how she was going to earn the money and found that it was a hot commodity. Bella’s in home,...

...A Thousand Cranes I have heard many legends, but among my favorites is that of the origami crane. Fold a single crane from paper; it is a sign of peace. Fold a thousand and it is said that a wish will be granted to the creator. As legend has it, these wishes often occur in the form of true love, a long life, prosperity, recovery from illness, or one thousand years of happiness. The effort put forth can be tedious, but well worth it. Today, I would like to share the art of origami with others, so that these cherished gifts, full of meaning can be passed along to others. I would like to explain step-by-step what has to be done, as well as, avoided in order to create this piece of art. First of all, the ultimate success of creating origami lies in the attention to detail; especially in the beginning stages. Before making any creases in the SQUARE piece of paper, make sure that the colored side is facing up; in this case, it is LAVENDER. Next, fold the square in half to form a triangle; opening up the paper, take the opposite two corners and fold another triangle. At this point, when the paper is flat there should be two creases that divide the paper into four, small triangles. Now, turn the paper over so that the white side is facing up. Fold the paper in half so that it becomes RECTANGULAR in shape; then unfold it, and again fold it in the opposite direction; make sure that the creases are well made. These creases should now define eight small triangles when the paper is...

...A Thousand Paper Cranes I have always loved taking pictures. When I was little, I used my cheap digital camera to take pictures of anything and everything. I took pictures of my family, my pets my belongings… Anything I had access to, I photographed. The summer before I turned eight was when I actually became interested in professional photography. Every night I dreamt of the fancy props, cameras, lenses and lighting that someday I would use to photograph everyone who was anyone. I’d be famous. I would photograph celebrities, super-models, big figures in politics; I’d be the photographer who everyone would envy… If only I could get that camera. “Mimi, make sure your room is clean!” my mom yelled from the living room. I was sitting on the ground, running my fingers through the pink, plush carpet that covered my bedroom floor. I was daydreaming, which was very typical me. Everywhere around me reporters rush around, trying to get a story. “Mimi! Mimi! How did the photo shoot go with the presidential family yesterday?”“Mimi! Mimi! Do you ever plan on helping other photographers follow in your steps?” “Mimi! Is your room clean? We need to run errands!” my mom yelled again, quickly jolting me back to reality. I rushed to throw the papers and pencils back in my laptop bag, and then I turned my computer off and grabbed my wallet. I ran into the living room and careened around the corner, just stopping short of the dividing wall. “I called your name four times. Why didn’t you answer...

...With the advent of the internet and the opening of most national borders in the twentieth century, it comes as no surprise that much of mankind has already mixed and mingled with each other, drawing inspiration and fascination from each other’s cultures, customs and traditions. Whatever it is that a country takes pride in, be it architecture, cinema, cuisine, dance, embroidery, history, music, pottery, religion, sports, science, technology, theatre and so on, it is already celebrated by other countries as well, including our own. Enter the rich culture and history of Japan. You could read for hours on the wonders of Japanese performing arts or the depressing effects of the atomic bomb on the youth and the country as a whole and you’d still be left with so much more to explore: calligraphy, enka, origami, clothing, social hierarchies, etc. There’s so much about the country to fall in love with. Those who have are called otaku. The term refers to those with an obsessive or above-average interest in Japanese culture but most especially in the country’s anime and manga. Naturally, those in our country, and even in our campus have fallen in love with Japan, so much so that the practice of that love has become a culture in itself, otaku culture, if you will. Students of the Ateneo are wont to talk about their favorite anime and manga and display quite prominently how they love that small island country with events, clubs, gathering...

...Abstract This paper looks at traditional Japanese culture in its entirety, and how exactly certain traditional aspects have influenced societies. Japan is an island nation in East Asia. It is an archipelago of 6,852 islands. The Japanese culture has expanded its horizons in many countries and regions. In special, Brazil, where the Japanese immigrants represents the second biggest Japanese descendent group out of Japan. Its values and habits has an important presence in Brazilian territory. One of the important aspects of this culture is the Japanese food. Japan has a rich culture of arts, architecture, literature, music, etc. Japanese art covers a wide range of art styles and media, including ancient pottery, sculpture, ink painting and calligraphy on silk and paper. Japanese ceramics are among the finest in the world and include the earliest known artifacts of their culture. In architecture, Japanese preferences for natural materials and an interaction of interior and exterior space are clearly expressed. Since Japan is very far away from Maldives, collecting information was mainly from the internet and library. Introduction Japan is an island nation in East Asia. Located in the Pacific Ocean, it borders China, North Korea, South Korea, Russia, Taiwan, the Sea of Japan, the Sea of Okhotsk, and the East China Sea. It is an archipelago of 6,852 islands, most of which are mountainous and many are volcanic. Figure 1: Japan The government system is a parliamentary...

... South Korea and Russia, stretching from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and Taiwan in the south. The characters that make up Japan's name mean "sun-origin", which is why Japan is often referred to as the "Land of the Rising Sun". Japan is a stratovolcanic archipelago of 6,852 islands. The four largest islands are Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu, and Shikoku, which together comprise about ninety-seven percent of Japan's land area. Japan has the world's tenth-largest population, with over 126 million people. Honshū's Greater Tokyo Area, which includes the de facto capital of Tokyo and several surrounding prefectures, is the largest metropolitan area in the world, with over 30 million residents. Japan first appears in written history in the Chinese Book of Han. According to the Records of the Three Kingdoms, the most powerful kingdom on the archipelago during the 3rd century was called Yamataikoku. Buddhism was first introduced to Japan from Baekje of Korea, but the subsequent development of Japanese Buddhism was primarily influenced by China. Despite early resistance, Buddhism was promoted by the ruling class and gained widespread acceptance beginning in the Asuka period (592–710). Japan is a constitutional monarchy where the power of the Emperor is very limited. As a ceremonial figurehead, he is defined by the constitution as "the symbol of the state and of the unity of the people." Power is held chiefly by the Prime Minister and other elected members of the Diet...

I’ve been a teacher of mathematics at Concord-Carlisle High School in Massachusetts for the past 10 years. In previous incarnations I was a geophysicist in the petroleum industry in Colorado and worked in Environmental Law in Vermont. I have always been interested in the history of mathematical thinking and the development of mathematical concepts, and make a point to emphasize contributions from both Western and non-Western civilizations. This learning module teaches students about the history of the Pythagorean theorem, along with proofs and applications. Feel free to use your own motivational ideas and tailor it to your students! This lesson is geared toward high school Geometry student that have completed a year of Algebra. The video portion is about thirty minutes, and with breaks could be completed in 50 minutes. (You may consider completing over two classes, particularly if you want to allow more time for activities or do some of the enrichment material). These activities could be done individually, in pairs, or groups, I think 2 or 3 students is optimal. The materials required for the activities include scissors, tape, string and markers. Calculators are optional. This lesson addresses the national standards of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and the Mid-continent Research...

...track to becoming a rabbi when he decided to become a lawyer. Although many of our relatives were ultra-orthodox, my parents adopted an unusually accepting attitude towards secular culture, media and literature. I soon developed a reputation for bookishness and a nickname to boot: “Encyclopedia Brown”, after a popular children’s book about a boy genius. I was self conscious about my intellect, but my complaints to the staff fell on deaf ears. Nobody took me seriously because they thought this name calling was complimentary, but I felt that I was being categorized as different. I eventually discovered that my size and agility were well suited to the sports that I had once shunned. Slowly, I began to succumb to the peer pressure, trading my origami and geology for football and basketball. Soon I stopped going to the library every week, stopped writing fiction, and started becoming popular. My newfound “coolness” was not an unwelcome change, but it did feel somewhat disingenuous. Despite my metamorphosis into these new social roles, I retained my natural curiosity and thirst for learning. But though that side of me still existed, I learned to avoid vulnerability by carefully tucking it out of sight. This trend continued through high school. I kept getting good grade, but my days of extra-curricular learning were over. It was painfully easy for me to maintain top grades in my classes, requiring only the minimal effort that my peers couldn’t be bothered to muster up. There was, however...

...Cultural Perspectives of Japan William Earl Barnes Jr. Abstract Japan is an island country sited east of the mainland of Asia. It is made up of a long, slender group of islands. The four main islands are Honshu (the largest), Hokkaido, Kyushu, and Shikoku. There are more than three thousand smaller islands. Together, they have about the identical land area as the state of California. Across the Sea of Japan to its north and west are Russia and South Korea. To the east, where the sun rises, Japan borders the Pacific Ocean. The Japanese call their nation Nippon, which means “Land of the Rising Sun” Japan has a remarkable landscape. Mountains and hills cover most of the land. A chain of mountains runs down the middle of Japan. Snow-capped Mount Fuji, Japan’s highest peak, towers over Honshu Island. Swift streams flow from the mountains into the sea. Thick forests cover the mountainsides where deer and monkeys make their homes in the spring; the countryside is colored pink and white with the blossoms of plum and cherry trees. In southern Japan, summers are long and hot. In the north, winters are cold and snowy. Central Japan has an enjoyable climate, with warm summers and cool winters. The country is often shaken by volcanic explosions and earthquakes. Japan’s first powerful rulers were chiefs from the Yamato region. During the Yamatos’ rule, many visitors from other lands came to Japan. Scholars from china brought the Chinese writing system in the 400s. They also brought...
