English 421: Technical Writing

Building a pirate ship in class was something that I never expected to do, esspecially in an english class. Eitherway my method for completing this project was quite simple. I took the box for the pirate ship, between the Manufacture name and title of the work 'Carribean Pirate Ship' I simply punched that into Google which brought up the website for Reveel. From there I located the model and got the part number. Part number in hand I went to the specs tab and scrolled down until I located the part number for the Pirate ship, upon finding it I downloaded the instructions in a PDF form. I then printed the instructions off so we could assemble the ship. Once they were printed the instructions were confiscated. At that point I took a back seat because there is one thing that I have learned in life. If there are already people that have taken charge of a situation it makes more sense to assist them in their leadership role then it does to but heads with them. If you try and fight with them as to who is going to be in charge you end up wasting a ton of time and the project would have been completed in the time you wasted by arguing over who should be in charge. Long story short, the pirate ship is about half done and we didnt even have my instructions that I found for us.
