Dear Customer Service...
Each student draws one card from each of four piles. The four piles contain cards with the following:
1. an everyday object (such as a hoodie, a binder, or a backpack),
2. the problem with the object (such as it is lumpy, it is leaking green fluid, or it smells like
it’s burning),
3. what happened to them as a result (such as it gave them an electric shock, made their cat
angry, or made their foot itch), and
4. what they want in restitution from the company (such as rent out a movie theater for a
private showing, buy them a plane ticket to Hawaii, or get them a part on a reality TV
show).
Determine the backstory surrounding these cards and write a letter of complaint to company
demanding restitution and satisfaction.
