1,000 paper cranes
By Courtney Davis & Rachel Hamilton
To make a paper crane you do
a series of folding called origami. Origami is basically all paper-folding
witch includes a series of different shapes, sizes, animals, plants and
insects. Next if you’re wondering why we are making paper cranes its because
were making them in honor of sadako Chan sasaki. If you’re wondering how come
it’s in
honor of Sadako because she died from the atom
bomb disease called radiation. Sadako tried to make 1,000 paper cranes to keep
her alive. She thought if she made 1,000 paper cranes the gods would grant her
a wish. Her first crane was the golden crane that she loved looking at. There
is a statue of her in Peace Park where peoples still come and put groups of
1,000 paper cranes in honor of her. We have done a survey of peoples in our
class that liked making paper cranes. 23/25 loved it!
