About
This was an essay written for English 100. The assignment was to write what you know: we needed to write about something that we experienced, something you know well, or the essentials in a topic of your expertise. I wrote about the requirements of making a sandwich: with a twist.

Pros and Cons |
The Write What you Know Essay uses Communication Skills. The point of this assignment was to teach and direct your audience on how to complete a particular action. With my 'How to Make a Sandwich Essay', you are taught how to make a cursed version of traditional food. I wanted my audience to understand how to recreate horror food (even if they did not want to), and I succeeded in that.
During this essay, I learned to comprehend and learn new strategies to teach people things thoroughly. For example, you should always give examples of what to do and what not to do to help your reader avoid an error. Furthermore, you should explain why you should or should not do something. This will help the reader accept the idea of completing a task more willingly.

I am incredibly proud of how painful I made reading this essay to be. What was written here I would never do myself (and I would stop being friends with someone who did these things). I surprised my audience by thinking they were getting into a typical essay about a sandwich when they did not.
This project's challenging part was trying to teach someone through words instead of just telling a story. I only partially succeeded in completing this goal due to certain elements which were more story-related.

What Could be Better |
Past and Future Learning |
Even though I attempted to avoid it, I still was not entirely successful in avoiding writing a story. I have never done a writing assignment of this caliber before, and I do not think I fully completed the assignment in the way that was asked.

This project relates to every time I have tried to teach someone how to do something. I do this all the time through words, but having to explain it through writing was a completely new experience.
This knowledge could be applied throughout my life whenever I need to teach someone something. If I need to explain how to complete something through an email, I can now achieve that due to what I have learned in this assignment.
