A simple lesson structure, aimed to appeal to a broad range of students, presented as a fun lesson, where the aim is not curriculum based learning, but instead an enjoyable activity for both the students and the teacher.
The design intends to leave a lot of flexibility for the teacher, such that there is room for variation in format and content.

A good idea may be not to stick to the presentation, but to use it as a guide for a more freeform lesson that discussed paper planes, involves the activity of making and throwing them, and also involves open thought about the concepts behind them.
There are two videos. The one showing how to fold the John Collins aircraft is rather good.
5 minutes : first discussion task
10 minutes : try to fold and throw some planes
10 minutes : look at the classic design and fold some more planes
15 minutes : watch the video and fold the John Collins plane
5 minutes : finish up the lessonAs mentioned this is not a strict plan, and is open to a preferred teaching style or to a different order. The slides can also be done in the wrong order or not done at all. The video is probably worth watching, unless the teacher learns to make the John Collins plane before the lesson and shows the students live.
