#Explain to an Alien How to Make a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich

  • An alien is positioned in front of a table.
  • On the table is a plate, a knife, a jar of jelly, a jar of peanut butter, and a loaf of bread.
  • The alien can read and recognize English and English grammar, but may not understand what specific words mean.

##Your assignment

  • Pair up
  • Together, create a list of instructions for making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
  • Keep in mind: the alien will do exactly what your instructions say...no more, no less.
  • Don’t worry about finishing. Just do what you can in the time allotted.
  • Optional: post your instructions to http://gist.github.com. Be sure to post as a Public gist.

Based on Avi Flombaum's Alien Sandwich Lab.
