Activity • Slide 02
In your notebook, write procedures for how to draw a simple picture. Choose something not too complicated like a letter or number, a simple shape like a rectangle or basketball.
**Reminders:
- • Procedures need to be detailed & specific!
- • Number each step of your procedures!
After you are done, you will read your procedures to someone else and they will try to draw your picture. Do this with at least 3 other people, drawing their picture also..
