Loom Weaving

 

This lesson was created by Emily Miller. She gave us a history of loom weaving. Also, she showed a video that showed all the different types of loom weaving. Then she handed out a piece of cardboard that had four stings on it. She had us go get yarn and pipe cleaners for this project. While we were weaving, Emily had asked us questions about Loom Weaving.  For an extension activity, I would have students practice weaving bigger looms such as a piece of cardboard with eight strings. Also, I could have students make rugs and then I can display them in the hallway for everyone else to see. Then I would have students tell me what their rug represents and why they created it that way.
