A paragraph has a
beginning a middle and
an end.
The beginning, or the
topic sentence, states
what the paragraph is
about.
The middle develops the
idea in detail by giving
specific support & details
for it (usually 3 - 5).
The end (conclusion)
restates the main idea in
the topic sentence.

BUILD A PROTOTYPE
BUILDING GUIDE
BUILD A PROTOTYPE
There are many ways to build your prototype. This building guide gives you some
hints and suggestions to consider while building yours. Trying to copy exactly the
parts shown here probably isn't a good idea. You have to make the parts fit for your
design.
However irritating it may be, I strongly recommend that you read through all of
these instructions and make sure you understand them before starting on your own
construction.

16. For extra strength, this model
of chair has additional supports
made of U-folded rectangles of
cardboard. These help to stop
the back and sides moving. For
each of these, (there are fourone at the top and bottom of each
of the side/back joints). Cut short
parallel slots in the back (side) so
that one falls on either side of the
side (back). Push the U-shaped
piece through both slots when the
chair is assembled, to strengthen
the joint as shown below.
