This document provides instructions for a name pattern project. Students will use colored pencils to write their name in cursive on folded paper, creating a mirrored effect when unfolded. They will then fill in the enclosed spaces with patterns and designs, coloring both sides to create an abstract insect-like figure from their name. The project requires using patterns, coloring all areas, and optionally matching or not matching the patterns on the mirrored sides.
