1. What is a Wiki: Paper Snowflakes
!!
Have you heard of Wikipedia or other Wikis on the internet? The word “wiki” is a Hawaiian word
meaning “quick” or “fast.” On the internet, a wiki is a website that allows users to add and edit
content. So, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that allows users to write and edit factual articles
about almost anything in the world.! ! Today, we’re looking at another wiki on the web. This one is called wikiHow. It’s a “how to”
website for learning how to do almost anything. Because there are a lot of pictures and the
written instructions are not too long. Websites like wikiHow can be a great way to learn how to
do things while practicing your English. It is especially good if you want to learn how to write/
read instructions in English.! !

2. Draw a template for your snowflake. Label it to show where we should cut. ! !!
To make a snowflake like mine, please use the _____________________ method
from the website.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If the 2 long sides have at least one place that isn’t cut, the “snowflake” will hold together. Plan
your design on the triangle below and then try to cut a circle of pictures.!
