Assignment 3: Instructions

You will write a set of instructions for:

• Crate-training a new puppy.

I have chosen this particular option because it requires you to make some choices about where to begin and end in the process, what background information you must provide, what terms you must define, and how much detail is necessary. There is no “right way” to approach this topic, but I will be looking for consistency. Whatever strategy you choose, whatever tone, whatever level of detail, stick with it.

This is also an exercise in paraphrasing. There are a great deal of existing how-to guides for these topics already out there. Your documents will be checked for plagiarism, so make sure you use your own words.

My suggestion is that you examine several existing instructional documents on the topic. Go ahead and use the internet. Look at what the different documents have in common. Look at where they disagree. Use this strategy to get a good overview of the process you’re writing instructions for. Do your research. Get to know your topic. Then use your knowledge to make an informed decision how your document will be constructed.

visuals could be a challenge but two are required. Use your judgment. Whatever you do, make sure the visuals assist the reader in understanding the document. If it just looks pretty, don’t use it. make every effort to not simply copy and paste all your visuals from the same source.

What you will turn in:
● One document of indeterminate length. The length of the paper is however long you think the instructions need to be to convey all the necessary information. The paper should be formatted to look like a professional document – type size and font and line spacings are all up to your discretion. Please keep in mind that the reader should be able to use your document to complete the process, not just learn a little bit about it.
