Student: "Why are we going to make paper?"
Me: "I don't understand your question...this is art."
Student: "...but you can just go out and buy paper."
Me: " (pause) You'll understand why after you make it."
outcome-
...student stays 15 minutes after class is over to continue to make paper!
If you have an opportunity to make paper, whether it's by yourself or with a class, you really should. It's an experience that most kids won't do on their own so they need someone like you to show them how.
Here is a video that I found from eHow that shows you how!
