Creating our Origami Butterflies + Jess's Letter

The first prop we made for our scene were origami butterflies. We constructed these origami butterflies today in class to use as a prop for our opening scene. This was quite a challenge since it was difficult to fold correctly. Amani and I had to watch multiple videos to accomplish this design. At times I got frustrated and had to take a break. Since our main character Jess will be surrounded by these paper butterflies, we needed to make sure we had a sufficient amount. 

The second prop we made was the special letter from Jess’s grandmother. In order to do this we drafted the body of the letter with meaningful words coming from her grandmother. After we collaborated our ideas, I transferred this letter onto a piece of paper in cursive. Since Amani and I were not talented at writing cursive, we decided to have my mother write it. We wanted to use cursive to demonstrate penmanship of an older lady. This will be the symbolic letter she will ponder over through our scene.

Linked below is the YouTube video we used.
