This cobra knot project was my groups teaching presentation. Our projects elements included color, balance and symmetry. We started our presentation off with a little history of knots. Then we showed off the different knots and talked about what we can use knots for in everyday life. Then we preceded to show off our knot and the basic way of tying it. The students were given yarn as an easier way for them to practice tying this knot. Once we felt they were comfortable with this they were given the string to start the actual project. As we assumed picking up the skill to tie this knot was fairly difficult for them to understand for the most part. We walked around and helped as much as needed until the lesson was over. By the end we felt pretty comfortable that they understood the basics of tying the cobra knot. I think this is a good project because it shows repetitiveness and symmetry very well and it is difficult and it makes the students push themselves until they understand it.
