Assignment:  Writing Technical Instructions

Need answer to this question?

Assignment:  Write a set of instructions that tell how to monitor, repair, test, package, plant, clean, operate, manage, open, shut, set up, maintain, troubleshoot, or install something of “multi-step” complexity.  Choose a topic from within your field of expertise or one that interests you.  Choose a personally familiar topic that you can discuss from experience and observation. Think of something that interests you and could be useful at work, school, or home. Feel free to have fun with this but remember to use correct formatting for instructions.

NOTE: Do NOT craft instructions on the following subjects (essentially anything that you can just copy and paste from an online site):

Driving/flying/walking/destination instructions Food or drink preparation  

Game-playing instructions (ex. Texas Hold ‘em) Tire-changing instructions

Details:  

Write your instructions for a “lay” audience or for an audience of first-year college students who know little or nothing about your topic.  

Include graphics.  These may be computer generated, hand drawn, scanned, or taken with a camera. 

 Include notes that clarifies essential information, cautions, warnings and/or dangers in the body of your report.  

Very Important Reminder: start each step with an action verb in the imperative (command) mode. Length:  2-3 pages
