As you build projects today, you have to be aware of several things at once. You must follow the directions, but you must also analyze the directions as you use them. We look at pages 25-27 in Bedford. You will do the "literal" skills as you build. You will analyze and evaluate as you comment on a set of instructions.
How is the layout on the page working?
What is clear and what is confusing in the writing?
Are there problems with the directions or is it the audience (you)?
When all are done, you can see how others did with your directions. Hopefully you have some ideas for ways to improve your own. Remember, even if people easily built your directions, I want you to look for ways to improve what you have.
Homework:
1. Brainstorm ideas (analyze, synthesize and evaluate) for changes on the green revision sheet, then make typed changes to your directions and print before class. You do NOT have to make all the changes that you list on the green sheet. The revision is worth 26 points for your grade on this project. Note: You might want to refer to your example directions for ideas.
