Explain: Go step by step drawing cityscape by the sea.
Day 2 of 4

Elaborate:
1. Student’s fold paper in half creating one-inch vertical lines. On the open-end students create a one-inch horizontal stop line. Students cut one-inch vertical slits into the paper to form a warp.
2. Student’s weave one-inch strips horizontally though the paper creating a checkerboard design.
3. Once students finish weaving they glue the ends and trim the corners of their rectangle to create an oval design. Students can add detail with markers to their balloon.
4.Once students have an oval woven shape they have the balloon of their hot air balloon.
5.Students then add a basket and a photo of themselves as the person in the basket and glue on strings to make it look as though the balloon is attached to the basket.
