Assignment (60 points):

Have you ever told a story before? Is a picture really worth a thousand words? Sometimes, what we say and how we say it doesn't do the best job of getting the point across. Sometimes, we really need to show others what we are trying to say.

Your task: Choose a process and photographically retrace the steps. For instance, baking a cake requires more than one step. You need to select what kind of cake you want to bake. Next, you must decide on what ingredients are to be used. The cake making process usually requires the baker to mix, whip, fold, and pour the cake's batter at different steps in order to properly make and bake the cake.

Examples of a process:

• Changing the oil in a car
• Building a computer from scratch
• Proper maintenance of a lawn mower
• Stripping/Re-Staining furniture or heirloom
• Creating a sculpture from clay
• Washing a dog
• Making lasagna
• Assembling a new desk.
• The possibilities are endless.

These topics will not be allowed: Anything that is deemed inapproprite in the student hand book, playing a video game, how to sleep lying down, how to relax with your eyes closed, reading a book (or, anything that is pretty much effortless in my eyes).
