English 410: 001 & 003
George Mason University

Fall 2008

For this assignment, you will write a short instructional or procedural report of about 5 pages, with illustrations.

The report should be written for an appropriate audience: someone who does not know how to perform the process, but would benefit from knowing.  You should use illustrations when appropriate.

The instructions should not be a simple list of steps. The assignment should follow the textbook's examples for "long instructions"  (Fig 11.7) or "procedures" (Fig. 11.6).

The report should include

• introduction explaining why your process or method should be followed.
• List of parts and/or tools required
• Estimated time
• List of steps, broken into sub-steps if necessary
• Illustrations and diagrams as appropriate
• Notes, warnings, and cautions as appropriate
