Can You Follow Directions?

Several classes this week took a break from library skills to practice LISTENING ... something that seems to have been disappearing from students' abilities lately. We played Simon(e) Says, got tricked by the attached worksheet, and discussed situations where ignoring directions can have dire consequences, such as:

Ignored Thing	Consequence
Test instructions	Bad NECAP score
Contract language	Less money than you deserve
Blender instructions	Chop off your finger, get food all over the kitchen
Recipe	Disgusting food
Parking lot signs	Crash into another car
How to pay bills	Fees and charges

Try printing out the worksheet and seeing how you do ... post your results in the comment section. Here is a Google Docs version in case you can't open the PDF above.
