Description

Did you know that the State Library of South Australia keeps pop-ups and moveable texts in the Children's Literature Research Collection?

We are offering digital resources designed to support learning and inquiry into this collection and support learners to investigate the art of paper engineering then design and make their own pop-up or moveable texts for specific purposes.

Key inquiry questions

  • How have historic and contemporary paper engineers incorporated moveable mechanisms to help tell a story or convey an idea?
  • How will I generate and communicate my own design ideas in both written and graphic form?
  • What materials and tools will assist me to achieve my intended design solution?

Links with the Australian Curriculum

  • The learning experiences are aligned with the Australian Curriculum for schools, with a particular emphasis on the learning area of Technologies: Design and Technologies, and the general capabilities of literacy, and critical and creative thinking.
  • Effective Learning principles strongly underpin the learning design.
  • Elements of this resource have been co-designed in partnership with children to provide relevant learning experiences that effectively engage young learners.
