How to Make a Sandwich -- "How To" Paper Reflection

As soon as we got the paper and understood the task, we (Kate and I) started brainstorming different ideas. I don't think we really had an initial response besides lets just get this done. Well, I know that I didn't. But anyway, back to brainstorming. We had many different ideas, but the majority of them weren't very good. They were either too complicated, too general, or just plain stupid. And the topic of "How to Make a Sandwich" seemed pretty simple, yet a little different so that's what we picked.

While we were writing this paper I was thinking about different sandwiches that I like to eat. 'Cuz honestly, how many people want to make a sandwich that they wouldn't want to eat? That's right, none of you kids out there would want to make some sandwich that you wouldn't want to eat. Anyway, when you think about the paper that way there really aren't too many ways to make a sandwich.

We really didn't have too many obstacles, because Wikipedia knew quite a bit about sandwiches (really, just check out the page here!), except when it came to attendance. Both Kate and Myself were absent once (on different days) so it really became 2 individual pieces of work just thrown together. Which honestly was pretty awful. The final product was the paper not flowing all that well.

With that being said, I would most definitely want to make revisions to this paper. For starters, I would like to say that we have 11 topics when we really only needed three. That would have not only made the paper brief, but it would also improve the flow. Also, we really should have added images to make the paper more "viewer friendly."
