Watch the Video called "The SketchUp Show #1 - Model a Lantern.mp4" - there's a copy on each machine in /Users/Shared. You can alway download this from www.go-2-school.
Have a go at following the Tutorial - even if you can only complete the main shape. You may need to watch the video several times, watching out for the Modifier Keys the narrator uses. He makes it look a lot easier than it really is!

Statement of Problem & Design brief:
You should begin by explaining the task you have chosen or the problem you hope to solve by designing and making your product. One way of doing this is to clearly explain the factors you need to consider when designing your product.
