Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

1. Search for information on how paper/card is obtained, in groups.
E.g., Paper is made from wood; a tree is felled, broken into chips, chips are boiled in water and chemicals added to form pulp; the pulp is pressed with rollers. The more the layers, the thicker the paper i.e. card.
2. Find information from books and other sources on how fabric/textile is obtained, in groups
E.g., Fabric/Textile is obtained from natural and man-made fibres which are turned into yarns and threads. They are made through weaving, knitting, crocheting, braiding or bonding, knotting, and felting.
3. Write out findings and present in class.
