Clay

I created this lesson. This lesson was a clay pots. First I talked a little about the history of clay pots. Then I showed them designs clay pots. After that I gave each student clay and I went through each step so the students could follow along. We started with the base and then worked to the coils. I made sure the inside of the pot was smooth so that made sure the clay pot stayed together. They had to have at least 5 coils and the inside had to be smooth. I gave them the option to have designs in their bowl and I also gave them the option to paint their bowl.

An extension activity I could use with this is talking about texture. I would make them include texture to their pot. I would have them include 3 different types or different ways of texture.
