Please read all instructions before you begin:

• Use a 8 1/2" x 11" white piece of paper (any paper will do).
• Hold the paper vertically.
• The Question is:
• "If you had a Robot of your very own what would it do to help you?"

• Examples: 
• "My Robot folds my laundry and cleans my room."
• "My Robot helps me with my homework."
• "My Robot makes chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast."
• "My Robot can fly me to Outer Space and visit other planets."
• "My Robot cuts down trees and makes them into comfortable rocking chairs."

• Draw a large shape in the center of the paper; it can be a square, circle, triangle, oval, or diamond
• All robots have head, so draw a head at the top of the large shape.
• All robots have arms, so draw arms using one of the shapes above.
• All robots have legs, draw those.
• Add shapes and lines on the robot to create buttons, gears, and blinking lights.
• Remember: your robot is a helpful robot, not a mean robot. 
• What other things will your robot need to help you?
• What tools will your robot need to do its job? (Examples: hammer, shovel, hair dryer, vacumn cleaner, saw, paint, scissors, etc...?)
• Once you are done drawing your robot, you may color your robot.
• You may color the robot in crayon, magic markers, or color pencils (whatever supplies you have at home will be fine).
• Use only four or five colors on your robot.
• Leave the background blank. 
• Write a few sentences telling other students what your robot does to help you.
• Example:   "My robot's name is Hydro Bot. He puts out fires with a huge fire hose. He also recues people from burning buildings with his long arms and legs. He is a great Fire Fighting Robot!"

Here is an Example:

• Below is a slide show of different types of robots...
• Have fun creating your amazing robot, I can't wait to see them!
