<h1 id="a-lesson-plan-about-paper-planes">A lesson plan about paper planes</h1>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The design intends to leave a lot of flexibility for the teacher, such that there is room for variation in format and content.</p>
<h2 id="downloading">Downloading</h2>
<p>You could download a zip file with all of the files: <a href="https://git.mohit.uk/?p=paper-planes.git;a=blob;f=paper-planes.zip" class="uri">https://git.mohit.uk/?p=paper-planes.git;a=blob;f=paper-planes.zip</a>.</p>
<p>Or use this website to browse all of the files, and download the ones that you need from the tree view (<a href="https://git.mohit.uk/?p=paper-planes.git;a=tree" class="uri">https://git.mohit.uk/?p=paper-planes.git;a=tree</a>).</p>
<h2 id="usage">Usage</h2>
<p>The important files are</p>
<pre><code>presentation.pdf    A PDF of the presentation (prefered)
presentation.pptx   A PowerPoint of the presentation</code></pre>
<p>All versions of the presentation are identical in content.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>There are two videos. The one showing how to fold the John Collins aircraft is rather good.</p>
