A paper plate, strips of paper, and a glue stick were the only resources students utilized to construct paper towers. I handed out those wonderful paper plates -- you know the ones -- the cheap, one-layer-thick-kind-of-plates. I love these plates, because there are virtually millions of projects that these plates make happen. I honestly don't believe anyone actually eats anything on these plates, but the art possibilities are endless!
The students were given 20 minutes to construct a tower out of the stack of paper strips they received. They were told that their glue stick and the paper plate were the only resources that could be used. Techniques included bending strips to attach them to the plate, rolling strips to create a structure, and gluing strips to other strips to achieve height. This photo shares four of the finished towers. We are slowly hearing about each child's tower!
