 * 2) **model each of the following step carefully for the students **
 * **Fold a piece of black construction paper in half, into a card shape. ** ||
 * **Make four short, parallel cuts along the fold line. They should be in two pairs. ** ||  ||


 * || **Fold over the flaps that were formed by the cuts. **
 * Unfold the folds you just made and open up the card. ** ||  ||


 * || **Push up the flaps made by the cuts. **
 * <span style="color: #e36c0a; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 19px;">Close the card so that the flaps are inside the card when it is closed. ** ||  ||


 * || **<span style="color: #e36c0a; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 19px;">Draw two ghosts (or other spooky characters) on a piece of white paper. Make sure that they will fit side-by-side inside the card when it is folded. **
 * <span style="color: #e36c0a; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 19px;">Cut out the ghosts. ** ||

 * 1) **<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 19px;">after you have modeled how to create the card, review each step with the class by calling on students to tell you what step is next (for example, call on a student to tell you what you do with the black paper first. Then call on another student to tell you where/how to cut etc.) **
 * <span style="color: #e36c0a; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 19px;">INDEPENDENT WORK **
