During this activity, we learned the origins of weaving along with the different things that can be weaved together. We learned about about the man who invented the loom, Joseph Marie Jacquard. We then split into two groups. The first group was to trace where we were to cut the cup 3/4 of the way. The second group was to measure out the yarn we were going to be using to weave our cup. When we were ready to start weaving, we were told to use an ABC pattern while weaving. Above is an example of my finished weaved cup.
An extension activity for this project would be to allow the students to use any pattern they wished too. This would result in many different designs and creativity throughout the class.
