our UNBREAKABLE egg

The steps of the egg project seemed to slip right by my group.  Once the time started, instead of choosing a team leader and a notetaker, we all began to brainstorm ideas.  After we came up with about two or three decent ideas, someone mentioned that we needed to draw a sketch of our design.  After we did that, the straws were handed out, and we all focused on beginning our contraption.  Without a team leader to make sure we were following the correct steps, we had left out a large portion of the task.  When we arrived at the front of the room, we had not even written the name of the egg on our piece of paper.  Once it was our turn to drop the egg, I stepped onto the table, let it go, and plop. egg was FINE. 10 extra points were a NO GO.  We had forgotten to record all our team members names on the project sketch.

That, ladies and gentlemen, is why you follow DIRECTIONS.
