Imagine you are outside and the Irish rain starts. Would a paper umbrella keep you dry?
Today we will choose materials that are right for real jobs, and say why.
Which material would you pick for a soft teddy: hard wood or soft fabric?
When we choose, we say our short why.
Come and watch our water check. What happens on the paper? What happens on this bag bit?
Now feel the materials on your tray. Talk with your group about what each one feels like.
Your page has four jobs: umbrella, teddy, window and bag. Along the bottom are pictures of our materials.
For each job, choose the material that suits it best. Cut out its picture and stick it in that job's box. Tell your group your why.
You do not need every picture. Some will be left over. You can feel the materials on the tray again before you choose.
Each box has its job's picture in the corner. Stick the material in that box, next to the picture.
