spagetti dinner
When I first found out we had to draw how to make a spaghetti dinner, I was dreading doing it because i CANNOT draw. I thought of ways that i could get around drawing out all of the steps of making a spaghetti dinner, but figured there is really no other way other than using symbols so that many people can understand it. I decided to take it step by step and just do the best i could.
I started with the first step, of getting a pot and boiling water. I continued with all of the steps needed to cook spagetti. I was doing good until i thought, how will people know when to stop stirring the spaghetti while its boiling? This step took me a few minutes to figure out, and after drawing a stiff piece of spaghetti and a curly piece, i figured if it was drawn professionally, the audience would get the point.
This project made me realize that sometimes, using words improves the cognitive load. For some reason i associated words with confusing and a lot on the brain, but in this case, I think using words (if you knew what language would be reading it) would have been the easiest and quickest way to describe these steps.
