Colorado State’s Designing Writing Assignments includes two checksheets for writing clear instructions. Unfortunately, they both focus on content but seem to overlook tone. Let's create a checksheet for adding warmth and care!

Let's create our own checksheet

What should we include to write assignment instructions that are clear and that also communicate warmth and care?

Please edit the Google doc below. You can add, revise, consolidate, re-organize, or tweak anything you like. Go for it!

Borrow, update, or use anything from the following:

Colorado State’s checksheets
what you’ve learned in this course
what you already know or have previously created

Mobile users may need to open Checksheet for showing care in instructions in a new tab in order to edit.

Add a shortcut to the file in your own Google drive to quickly find this file later and see new updates. To learn how, see "Create a shortcut for a file or folder" on the Organize your files in Google Drive page. (This is different from "copy to my Drive" which creates a separate, new copy that won't show any new updates.)
Be notified when new updates are added. To learn how, see Google's Manage Notifications page.
