Design and Society Writing Assignment 2

What

This assignment has several parts, only the first two are due before class (in WebCT) next Monday.
  1. Design an object, constructed using paper, scissors, a pencil, and scotch tape. The paper is 8.5" x 11.0" white bond copy paper.

    Example objects include: a paper airplane, an envelope, a greeting card, a game board, a paper cube or die, other 3- dimensional shapes, etc. Use your imagination, within the limits imposed by how much you can clearly describe in 2 pages.

  2. Write a 2 page document describing how you can construct your design.

  3. Following the instructions, build the design. We will do this at a later date.
Your document should use full sentences, paragraphs, correct punctuation, and English grammar. The use of the "Core Rules of Writing" are expected. You must paste a copy of the rules on your monitor as you write the paper.

You might experiment with several objects, in order to get one that can be described within the limits of the assignment.
