Create a memo set of instructions Choose a process or multi-step task from a past, current, future, or imaginary workplace. You will be writing a memo that has a set of instructions for completing a task/process at that specific workplace/company. Companies create step-by-step sets of instructions to help workers carry out routine tasks/processes with either physical materials (e.g., spatula and beef) and/or intangible materials (e.g., computer software). The purpose of a written set of instructions is to achieve consistency, efficiency, a certain level of quality, uniformity, regulation, and/or safety. Use numbered steps/instructions, disclaimers and warnings as needed, and feedback after the relevant step as necessary so that your reader can successfully complete the task Include an introduction/context Include a purpose statement (e.g., what will the reader be doing/able to do?)
