task on a mobile device. An example of this approach would be a set of instructions on

how to download an app to borrow library books from your local library.

Brief Description and Strategies to Follow:

Please keep in mind the following principles when writing this assignment:

• You must provide instructions on how to accomplish a task on a website. The website

should be for a regional or local organization or company in your area. For

example, you could write about how to order a pizza from a local pizza shop in your

town. You could write about how to purchase an item from a local shop in your area (not

from Amazon).

• The organization or company can be national. However, the set of instructions you write

must involve a local or regional location for that national organization. For example, you

can write about how to arrange a rental tool online at Home Depot, provided that you are

arranging the rental at a local Home Depot location.

• If you have questions about whether your topic will work, please contact your instructor

for approval or for suggestions on the topic.

• Whether you choose a local establishment or a national organization with regional

locations, the important features of your set of instructions will be that they are written to

a general audience but also accommodate the specific personas that you wrote for writing

assignment #1.
