Instructions: You have spent the past number of weeks reading various informational and instructional articles.  Now is your chance to write an informational/instructional article on a subject on which you are an expert.  

Write a multi-paragraph informational/instructional article that will guide the reader to learn what you know about a topic of your interest.  Subjects can range from the personal to the practical, to technical.  The key for this assignment is that you pass on information from your own expertise and experience.  (I don’t want you to merely retransmit the information from a book or website!)  You can include diagrams, photos or illustrations if they will help your reader to understand what you are teaching.
