1.  First make a list of all of your observations in the picture on the left.  Write down as many as you can think of, but don't worry about detail at this point.

2.  Next, write a detailed description of the picture.  Your description should be a least three full paragraphs and one page long. 

A rough draft of this assignment is due Thursday.  The final copy is due Monday.

Remember that your final copy should include specific details describing the picture.  Don't just talk about the obvious parts; tell about the more subtle details as well!

E-mail me if you have any questions or if you'd like me to read your paper before you turn it in.
