Throughout this 5-day project (45-minute class periods), the students will apply their knowledge of the elements and principles of design to create a shoebox room. This works well as either a unit project over the elements and principles of design for high school or an Interior Design unit project for middle school.  Each student will bring in a shoebox and recycled materials. The student will receive five days to create a cohesive room. At the beginning of the five days, the student will receive the Shoebox Room Instructions & Grading Rubric, which should guide their designs.   This lesson is a designed to be a summative assessment over the Elements and Principles of Design in an Interior Design unit.
