Groups of students create structures of a lighthouse station with their bodies. Pairs of students create structures found at the Fenwick Island Lighthouse Station circa 1861. Students write to inform about the importance of the structures on the light station, identify shapes used to create structures, and draw a map of the light station. A Light In the Storm is one in a series of books about America and American history published by Scholastic. This book has been adapted by The Kennedy Center for the stage.

The Emperor's New Clothes: Cut it Out SOURCE: The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Hans Christian Andersen was not only a famous storyteller, he was also a gifted paper cutter. In this lesson students will use symmetry to create paper cuttings. Students will cut paper to create scenes from The Emperor's New Clothes. They will create symmetrical movements and write about whether the paper cutting is symmetrical or not. Included in this lesson are extensive links to sites that include a chronology of Hans Christian Andersen's life, excerpts of his journals, and lists of his stories.

Paper Quilts SOURCE: National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. In this eight-lesson unit, from Illuminations, students investigate fractional parts of the whole and use translation, reflection, rotation and line symmetry to make four-part quilt squares. Teams of students make paper quilts from squares they have designed. Each team presents its quilt design to the class and describes how it arrived at the design. The teams analyze the different quilt designs and discuss the numerical and geometrical similarities and differences among them.
