The Year of the Snake Great Challenge

Your task is to create a Snake, which celebrates The Year of the Snake.

You will be given three technology lessons to design and prepare the snake. You will then make your snake and present it to the school community on Friday afternoon during the Chinese New Year Celebrations. This will begin at 2.30 pm. The parade will be at 4.30 so you have 2 hours to finish the making of the snake.

The rules

1. You can use boxes, bamboo, paint, material, humans, and anything else you think you need to create the snake


2. You must know the type of snake and try and include features of the snake.


3. Your snake should be able to be moved and also should be able to move as we will have a year of the snake parade at the end of the day.


4. All members of your homeroom must be involved in the making of the snake and at least ten members of your class must be part of the parade of the snake.


5. Use this Google Doc to start adding information: SNAKES


6. In your table groups, post some information about the significance of the Year of the Snake. Who are some famous people who fall under this Sign? What attributes do people born in these years typically have? Give some background information on the Chinese Zodiac.
