Shopping List

To put the list into context, here's the sort of artifact we'll be creating in class:

We need:

  • Many black sharpie-style markers (e.g. https://amzn.to/2OAfR6F)
  • A roll of 3-foot (1M) wide white craft paper, at least 100 feet (30M) long (e.g. https://amzn.to/2pj9CsE). If the class is large or you intend to actually continue with what you learn in class in your actual work, get a longer roll and a dispenser: https://amzn.to/2NSRUu9 and https://amzn.to/2MKufHx.
  • Scissors to cut the craft paper.
  • Masking tape to attach the craft paper to the wall (https://amzn.to/2MRwWwl or equivalent)
  • Standard 3/4-inch (19mm) "Scotch Tape" to use if sticky-note adhesive fails.
  • One roll of 1/8" (or 3mm) masking tape for creating re-positionable lines on the drawing (e.g. https://amzn.to/2KiZInx).
  • Several pads of post-it notes (3 x 3in, 76 x 76mm) in each of the following colors. The "super sticky" variety is required. The colors are not accidental. We'll need one pad of each color for each breakout group of 6-8 people.

https://amzn.to/2xs0REo ("Miami colors" combo box: yellow/orange/blue/pink). If you have the whiteboard space, the 4x4 variant gives you a bit more room on the sticky itself (https://amzn.to/3ns6yYI).
