The Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious 7th grade Museum of Japanese Culture :D

Our group presented about origami, the Japanese art of paper folding. For our exhibit, we folded many origami models and taped them onto a display board. I also brought some examples of modular origami that a friend made, including a dragon and pineapple. Through researching at the Cerritos Library, each member in the group prepared a small speech to explain the contents of the display and interesting facts about origami. Everyone in my group researched, borrowing books and searching on websites. I mostly made the display and the origami models, while my group members gave ideas and suggestions and how to display our exhibit. They showed effort, preparing for all our meetings at the library and bring their laptop to research. Overall, working together, we were able to make a display that showed what origami was and how it looked like, as well as producing a speech to explain about origami. Next time, though, I would try to make the display larger, as well as making more origami models to have a better exhibit. Regarding the speech, instead of each person saying the beginning, middle, and end separately, we could rotate and each say a part in each section. We could also say more interesting facts rather then just throw out boring information all at once.

This experience was very educational and fun in a way. Through everyone elses presentation, I was able to learn a lot more about the culture of Japan, and there were many presentations that had humor as well as really important information. I really enjoyed the 7th grade Japanese culture museum exhibit project. :)
