** Shameen, **

** This lesson looks very interesting! One general question that I have is, does this relate in any way to your first lesson? I wasn't quite sure if we had to relate them all together or if we could just create three lessons from different topics/ units. Either way, I like your idea...it reminds me of the computer game that came out a while back called "The Sims". **

Shameen,

I like how you incorporated this lesson into a real world experience. When students can relate the lesson to something in life it makes the concept easier to understand. This reminds of creating a bedroom on the tv show extreme makeover. Lots of creative ideas used to make an interesting bedroom. Maybe showing them something from that show with the creative ideas they can make something of their own.
