Reflection
People in Japan have been doing origami for many hundreds of years. It’s a traditional pastime that is said to relieve stress, though it can be difficult to master the complex designs. How did this activity make people feel? Maybe it felt frustrating when a design wouldn’t go right, exciting when someone mastered a tricky fold, or calming to repeat the process for a second time. Did anyone have to try, try again when the paper crumpled or tore? What kind of instructions do people find easiest to follow: written instructions, pictures, diagrams, or videos? How would people show others how to do it?
