Your text compares writing instructions to following a recipe. That is good advice, but it’s a little too straight forward. Using paragraphs, I want you to write instructions for an event that you are planning. It could be a birthday party, a Super Bowl party. What you plan is up to you.

In paragraphs (not numbered points) instruct me on what needs to be done for your event.
Include deadlines
