Folding paper

We made Japanese paper wallet and penguin in speaking class today. Today’s activity is interesting for us. First, we were separated into two groups, A and B. Group A went to 425 classroom. Then the teacher distributed papers that were written how to make Japanese wallet. We practiced to tell the explanation without showing how to make it. After practice, B group came into the classroom. I taught Ryoko how to make it. Then Ryoko taught me how to make penguin. It was more difficult than paper wallet. I thought that B group was hard work. But penguin is cute looks.

By the way, I tell you how to make paper wallet now. You have to prepare a piece of paper. Then, fold your paper in half horizontally. Unfold it and fold the top to the center line. Next, fold the bottom to the center line. Turn it over. Fold the left and right edges to the middle. Finally, fold the paper in half so that the top edge meets the bottom. That’s all. You have a Japanese paper wallet, now. Can you make it? It is very difficult to make it by reading this paragraph only. If you make it, please ask me how to make it. I will teach you it.

After this activity, my group member had folded paper into the figures. We were absorbed in it! One made Pakkunchoes, others made Crains. I wanted to make a paper box, but I made a mistake. The paper was not good. I will make a box next class.

The picture is penguins, cranes, and pakkuncho and paper wallet. However, the paper wallet is not conspicuous…
