Task Analysis (for Print-based Projects)
You need to perform a complete task analysis of the selected procedure. In addition, you need to clearly identify the audience and purpose of these instructions in an opening paragraph. After you have written the opening paragraph, complete the following task analysis for each step of your set of instructions.

1.	For each major step in the procedure, identify the following information: 
•	Goal or purpose of the step. 
For example: to build a floor for a doghouse to which you can attach a frame.
•	Start state: The conditions that need to exist before this step is performed. 
For example, before building the floor for the doghouse, you will need to have drawn the blue print for the doghouse so that you know the measurements and you will need to have gathered all the required materials and tools for building the floor.
•	End state: The outcome of the step. 
For example, after completing the instructions for building the doghouse floor, you will have cut the components for the floor to spec and will have assembled them so that the frame can be attached. 
•	Steps to get from start state to end state: Identify all of the steps the users must take to move from the start state to the end state. 
•	Graphics: List the visuals required to perform steps successfully.
2.	Verify the sequence of each major step in the procedure. 
NOTE: For some instructions, you will want your users to perform some of the steps in a precise, predetermined sequence. For these steps, the end state of the first step should be the start state of the second step. 
For example, the end state of the floor step in the doghouse instructions would be to have the floor assembled; that would be the start state of the framing step since you would attach the frame to the floor.
