Callen: How do we put this in?
Charlotte: Crosses?
Helen: We don’t need to tie a knot, you can put it through. Helen finds a way to attach, threading into the holes of a lacy ribbon.
Marky: I don’t know what’s next. Marky lets go of the fiber strands and sits back. He seems very discouraged.
Eleanor: I know how! She approaches Marky to help. You put it over and through and pull these strings. She explains this without touching his work.
Marky: But I want to do it a different way. Marky is again motivated to try on his own. I did it. I put it through and then I made a circle and then I put this through the circle and pulled.
Helen: Ugh. Ugh. Helen’s face expresses great frustration. I don’t know how to do this. It’s not going. I can’t do this.
Marky: I can help you! Marky looks over to Helen. You can’t make a knot?
Callen: Then you can ask somebody. Callen is focused on his work, but joins in to offer a possible solution.
Marky: Do you want me to show you? Helen nods and a conversation ensues. Marky returns to his work and looks up at a teacher. I just taught Helen my idea! Now I can use my idea that I taught Helen. In showing Helen an alternative way to attach fiber, Marky learned a new way to try to attach his own pieces.
