A few examples and ideas for topics: baking homemade bread, "backing up" your computer files, driving to Florida, running a piece of equipment, assembling something, repairing something, procedures in a doctor’s office or hospital or for a science experiment, a case study based on the use of a new product, legal instructions, office manuals, manufacturing or business processes, reports based on a survey or experiment—thousands of ideas for topics along these lines. Choose a process that is interesting and has information useful to other people.
