  • Students were given the task of creating a human sculpture out of four students, and having a fifth student write the directions so that another group could recreate the sculpture without ever seeing the original.  This turned out to be quite hard, because much of our writing lacks detail and makes assumptions that the reader knows what we mean when they actually don't!

"And that is a danger to our national security."
