Do your Handicrafts Learning Diary in Pedanet according to the last week's instructions (and remember to add the pictures you have taken).
Week 13 tasks
In Handicrafts the students will work on different kinds of projects than before and what they are used to in the handcraft's classrooms. We have Handicraft lessons 1,5 hours per week and that is the estimated time students should spend working on the given tasks. If more time is spent on something it does not mean that the other parts of the task shouldn’t be done. Parents can also give a permission to work with a classmate if that is possible.
All the students should have a folder for Handicrafts in their Pedanet page. That folder should be used for keeping the Handicrafts Learning Diary. Only if the use of Pedanet is still difficult, students are also allowed to use a notebook. In that case handwriting has to be neat and the Learning Diary carefully organized. Students should return the handwritten diaries to their classroom teacher when they come back to school.
In your Learning Diary you should have
a) the number of the taskb) answers or ideas
c) at least two sentences long explanation of the things you have done and pictures if possible etc.
d) the most important thing you learned or discovered written in one sentence
e) your self-evaluation on your work
f) time used for the task
g) parents approval if possible
TASK 1

TASK 2
What can you make from the old pair of jeans?
Create at least five ideas of your own and ask your parents for even more ideas. Next, search from the Internet for other people’s ideas.
If possible, choose one of your own ideas or someone’s else’s and make the product together with your parents or alone. In any case, please, don’t cut your jeans without your parent’s approval :). Ask for the permission to use a sewing machine. If you can’t make what you planned, write anyway down a) what part of the jeans you would have used, b) the steps you should have taken and 3) the tools you would have used. Keep in mind the planning form used at school.
