Students will share their butterfly and explain their pattern to the other students.

Finally, students will draw student characteristics (boy, girl, brown hair, black hair, tennis shoes, pants, etc.) and use the characteristics to create patterns with his/her peer. Then each student will practice taking a picture of the student pattern with a digital camera
