    Lesson Overview
    Day 1: Students will receive an introductory lesson in paper mach starting with a
    PowerPoint slide presentation and demonstration. Afterward, each student will receive a
    balloon and begin applying newspaper strips and glue until theres at least 4-5 layers of
    newspaper on the body of the fish. Balloons should be labeled at the base with the
    students name using masking tape and a Sharpie marker.

    Day 2: After a brief lesson on attaching parts, students will begin designing and cutting fins
    for their fish, using shapes drawn on the board as inspiration. Each student will be required
    to create and attach two side fins, a dorsal fin, and a tail, with the goal of the class period to
    attach and begin paper mach process of the fins. Balloons can be popped; however,
    another label must be added for the childs name. Student work will be dried in a
    designated spot in the classroom then stored in a large box during the week.

    Day 3: Students will watch Ms. B show students how to add additional three dimensional
    design elements like eyes, lips, and scales. Students will add these elements to their fish,
    choosing their own unique options to create a one of a kind fish.

    Day 4: Students will finish the paper mach process with 2-3 additional layers of
    newspaper on every surface of the fish, especially appendages for strength. If a students
    newspaper layers are finished and dry, they may begin the painting process.

    Day 5: This day is designated as a make-up and finish painting day.
