  Case: Art Class
Mr. Mercer is an elementary art teacher who is unobtrusively assessing his students while they make origami holiday ornaments. He notices that while students seem to be doing well constructing the ornaments from precut pieces of paper, they are having a hard time cutting any pieces on their own. He realizes that while he went over in detail the processes of folding and constructing the ornaments, he did so with paper he had prepared by precutting. What should he do to make the process easier for the students?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Mr. Mercer should evaluate his instruction. He should first teach students using pre-cut but he also needs to add doing this from scratch. We can not just assume students will get a concept without instruction. After students have been taught to do this without having pre cut pieces of paper students should master this skill.
