Pod Production: Snowflake Paper Chains

It is all fun and games until we have to work with a large group

You and your pod are going to produce snowflake paper chains to decorate your column and possibly to be strung from the ceiling over your space. Each person must cut and produce an equal length of the paper chain.

Follow these semi-complete steps - your grade is based on your TEAMWORK (not your cutting skills). It is possible that you can will each earn a different grade. You are responsible for both being engaged AND engaging your podmates. Just doing your own work is not consider collaboration.

Basic Template for Snowflakes

Decisions Your Team should make BEFORE you make the first cut

• Open the template file - make decisions about which snowflake(s) you want to use -

  • All the Same

  • All Different

• Print some templates and each person needs to cut out their own template in cardstock

  • The group or a person are welcome to create their own templates as long as everyone agrees with the idea and the output

Time to start building your individual flake chains using plain white paper

1. Turn your paper to landscape

2. Cut a strip that is the length of the paper and the height of your snowflake template

3. Now fold your paper (accordion style) making sure each fold is the width of your snowflake template
