Making an Alligator

I never knew how hard an art and craft project could possibly be.  After today's class, I have now figured out that I never want to be the person who writes out directions for something.  It was difficult to write out everything that was going on because being a human being we all assume a majority of actions that we perform.  That was definitely one of the struggles I had.  Figuring out what all should be included.  Also there were some people who took it a bit far and just wanted to get revenge on others for not following them correctly.  It is difficult to do projects with different types of people.  It was a good learning experience on how to make step by step directions for people.  I feel that the technical writers should get a lot of props for doing this hard work when it is done correctly.  Sometimes, like we talked in class they do not give great directions and we are all left to fend for ourselves. I now have a better understanding on what goes into technical writing and even though it was frustrating, it was a good exercise to get us all involved and to teach us.
