Finish this assignment and use technical writing, Follow these directions:
Using the guidelines described in the reading above, write your own instructions for a procedure of your choosing. Try to select something in which you are an expert and provide instructions for a non-expert audience. You may use something from your work (e.g. how to change the printer toner cartridge) or something around the house (e.g., how to mow the lawn, how to make an egg salad sandwich). You may choose a humorous subject (e.g. how to determine if Goldilocks has been in your home), as long as you apply all the proper principles of good instructions.
Review the information provided in readings/examples and be sure that your rewritten instructions contain all of the recommended components, as appropriate. While graphics are not required, the proper use of graphics in your instructions will count for extra credit.
DO NOT write instructions for tasks where instructions are readily available, such as software procedures or published recipes. If there is already a Help feature or an existing instruction set or a manual, you may NOT choose that procedure. The instructions you will write for this assignment must be your own, original work.
Write your instructions in an MS Word document. By mid-week, use the link above to go to the Instructions Discussion Board and click "Create Thread." Attach your instructions to your message. You will be graded on clarity, adherence to the sections and guidelines in the reading, and grammar/style. This activity is worth 30 points.
