Due: 9/14

Length: 1 paragraph

Assignment: Practice writing a method section by describing something you do tomorrow.  Here are some possibilities, but feel free to choose any task you like:

 - Brushing your teeth
 - Working out at the gym
 - Doing your laundry
 - Filling your car up with gas

     You should write one paragraph for the method section in sufficient detail so that I could theoretically do the same task if I wanted.  Since this is a short write-up, no subheadings are needed.  Type your work and bring it with you next time to share with others and turn in.
     Here's my example.  Note the use of objective language (not "I"), the format, and the inclusion of detail-- you could surely replicate this experience rather easily if you wanted to for some reason:
 

purchased one DiGiorno's brand frozen pizza with pepperoni.  A standard electric oven was preheated to 400 degrees Farenheit, and after five minutes

the frozen pizza was inserted into the oven directly on the center cooking rack.  The pizza was cooked for 22 minutes, removed from the oven, and cut

into eight equal-sized pieces.  Four of these pieces were consumed by the participant along with three glasses of Dr. Pepper, and after a few bites, red

chili pepper flakes were added for flavoring.  The remaining four pieces were wrapped in aluminum foil and stored in a refrigerator for future

consumption.
