Review
,ow you review this activity will depend on what you want to highlight. +t could be about attention to detail and how this can affect how instructions are followed or it could be about written information and how it can be confused if not presented clearly. An e&ample review could be!ring the delegates together and ask them to look at both the good version of the brief and the poor one. Ask them to flipchart the key points they feel make a badly presented document i.e. too wordy. %hen they have completed this ask them to think of any other poor instructions they have seen and add what it was that made them poor to the list. %hen they have completed this' discuss each point with the group.
