Hi, I am writing a cover memo and an original set of instructions introducing the instructions to my readers. The cover memo is the first page, followed by the instructions.

I am to write a set of instructions for one task that I am familiar with for an audience who is not familiar with my topic. The instructions must be 1-2 pages. Topics may include but are not limited to: How to avoid plagiarism How to proofread my written work How to give a peer review How to search for and find scholarly, peer-reviewed articles

Key concepts to include: Clear and concise instructions. Instructions should be organized in a "user-friendly" manner. Instructions should include definitions or clarifications for advanced terminology. Instructions should include warnings/cautions. Instructions should include pictures/diagrams to help clarify instructions (use if needed; not required).

Along with the instructions, I am doing a cover memo addressed to my instructor discussing the following questions: What is the purpose of my instructions? Who is my intended audience? How did I organize the instructions (step by step, bullet list, narrative format, etc.) and why did you choose that format? What were the warnings/cautions I needed to include?
