Zooming in

By a student of grade 5

You need:

1. three drawing sheets 10 by 10 cm
2. colour pencils
3. glue
4. coloured construction paper

Students draw on the first sheet, an animal or anything they like. Then they zoom in, just like a camera, on a piece of the drawing. This piece has to be drawn enlarged on the second sheet. For the third drawing, a piece of the second drawing has to be enlarged.

For students who find this difficult, it is useful to make a template. This is a piece of cardboard with a hole of 3 by 3 cm. Lay this on the drawing to explain zooming in and to see which part has to be enlarged.

Paste the three dwawings on a piece of coloured construction paper.
