Propsal for Lead Project #2

This project is going to be called the “Origami Experience” it is going introduce the students of Aviation High School to the joy of origami. The students at Aviation High are often stressed out and they need ways to calm down. Students will experience the relaxing experience of origami and may be even take an interest in it. It will occur on December 7th in Mrs. Wilson’s room during club time, everyone will be invited, you could bring your friends or come alone.
At times school, especially Aviation High School can be stressful, students who are stressed out are not healthy. We need our students at Aviation High to be relaxed and ready to learn, not strung out on the stresses about how late they are going to be up studying for some test they are going to have next week! At our school we do try to do things that will help lower the stresses of our students like pep assemblies, spirit weeks and clubs. They are great, but that alone is not enough to assuage the stresses of the students. My project will supplement this need for our students to be more relaxed. What is more relaxing than origami; a calming paper folding artistic experience.
The expected outcome of this project is to create a relaxed feel and calm the students down. The dates that this is expected to happen is on December 2nd during club time in the origami club in Mrs. Wilson’s room.
Everyone who is willing to take part of this project will come to Mrs. Wilson’s room during club time on December 7th Thursday. During the club time we will create a enjoyable calming atmosphere where one can feel relaxed and forget about the stresses that they are dealing with. People can work together in groups to create something, or alone to create something. Some people choose to relax alone
some decide to relax with others.
To know that this project is successful you would see students leaving the club time with a much more relaxed feeling. In order to know this there shall be a survey on how it was that is passed out at the end of club time. Then I will read them and write my reflection based on how the surveys responded.
The project will be very simple, we will be just working in Mrs. Wilson’s room, with paper and scissors. There is currently no helpers with this project other than the club supervisor Mrs. Wilson. She is an asset for the project because she is providing her class room. I am leading this project because I feel that origami club has the ability to calm down the students at Aviation High. I think that I have a calmed attitude about school, that could help the students .
This project should only take 45 minutes on December 7th at 12:35pm at Mrs. Wilsons room.
The Budget for this project is really low, we already have the origami books that students will need to instruct them and we may need more paper for the students to fold with, but I’m pretty sure that will be cheap and low budget.
This project will be worth while because it will help the health of the students and calm them down. The students at Aviation High need to know ways to calm down and relax when they are under such stresses.
