One of your classmates, Jatin Midha, summarised the Week 5 task of "making a better version of your room", really well ... he said:
We "improve/add/change elements of our room to showcase the folding techniques we learned through the videos".
Looking back to the Studio Activities Week 5 (to be completed at home) on Moodle this is one of the videos he is referring to:
The Studio Activities Week 5 links to more of the videos Jatin is referring to here: http://foldingtechniques.com/folding-techniques
We should be able to see evidence of these techniques applied to the model of your room. For example, in one model you might use the concentric scoring technique to create a new surface that joins a wall to the ceiling. In a second sketch model you might create a set of "masu" boxes to suggest storage shelves or a library. Making a better version of your room doesn't have to be strictly functional though ... some of your folding showcases could be simply to create a more exciting space.
If you are finding the 1:10 scale difficult with respect to the cardboard or paper you have to hand, you might change scales ... but communicate your justification for this on the blog post which has your sketch models.
If you have other flat/sheet materials available feel free to try these folding techniques on them. The Week 5 lecture is worth looking at again to show you how common household items can be reused as model making materials.
Remember to take plenty of photos and upload them to your blog. Adding human figures and other editing in Photoshop could also help communicate your folding showcase, utilising skills you already have.
