Projects are fun to do with students. We would like you to brainstorm some ideas.

What would be some possibilities besides the two assignments we described in the workshop?

Given a tessellation by parallelograms, investigate what possible tessellations could result. What are the possible symmetry groups?
Same question, but start with a tessellation by squares.
What type of isometries could one use if we started with semi-regular tessellations?
Pick a list of tessellations for the students to compare and contrast. Have them write a paper.

Question:

Outline an assignment for your students based on one of the ideas mentioned above (or something else you think would work).
What exactly will you ask your students to do? How much artwork? How big a paper? Do they turn in preliminary work?
How will you grade the project? What percent of the grade will be artwork, what percent will be the paper?
When grading, what would your expectations be for an A? For a C?
