There are three parts to this activity:

• Write a set of instructions that will allow someone to reproduce a given drawing.
• Using the set of instructions, produce the figure described.
• Discuss ways to produce better instructions.

At this point, you should be reasonably comfortable giving precise, unambiguous directions. In this exercise, you will put that to the test by asking another group to exactly reproduce a hidden drawing. Your first task is to write down a set of directions that will allow someone else who has not seen the drawing to reproduce it exactly. Next, try to follow someone else's directions. Finally, we will discuss how to improve your instructions.
