Assignment 7: "Sample Instructions – Final"

 

Pick a favorite snack food that requires you to take at least eight steps to prepare.

 

Rewrite your earlier sample instructions draft (Assignment 5) to incorporate feedback from your professor on the simplicity, tone, clarity, and format of the submission. Review the instructions example in the textbook if you have not done so already. Imagine your audience is third grade Girl Scouts who have little or no experience in a kitchen. Along with your instructions, write a 1 page explanation of the steps you took to create the document and rationale for your approach. In your document, you should:

1. Write instructions and explanations clearly and briefly.
2. Use appropriate tone and language for the intended purpose and audience.
3. Organize the instructions and the document.
4. Provide an explanation and rationale of the approach.

• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
