There are two tasks in this assignment:

1.Design and build a mechanism to catch a/a pair of small animal/s that you can adopt as your pet.

2. Design and build its/their home.


First of all, I decided to keep a tortoise as my pet. Why I am choosing tortoise? This is because I think that there are some similarities of characteristic between me and tortoise. For instance, both of us are persist in our own decision and opinion. Hence, I have caught a tortoise and design a shelter for it.

My intention was initiated from the tortoise itself. My idea is to design a home that’s looks like the tortoise. This can always remind me the existence of my tortoise.
