Part 1: Think of a banana (it is always a little better if you have one to look at). Based on the information in the chapter, list all of the ways that a banana peel makes a great package. Be creative--the assignment is not completely literal, it is meant to represent all four of the functions listed in the chapter.
Part 2: What do you think is the greatest packaging improvement that you have seen in the last several years? There are lots of them! Just go to the grocery store.
