2. CONDOM INSTRUCTIONS

• Get some instructions on how to use a condom:
  • Go to the drugstore and buy a package of condoms; find the directions.
  • OR go to the clinic and get a flyer explaining how to use condoms properly.
  • OR go on the Internet and find a really good set of directions.
• If this is “been there, done that” for you, then get the instructions for a female condom (the kind that was originally designed to go inside a woman, instead of outside a man).
• Read the instructions carefully.
• Rewrite those instructions in your own words. Don’t just copy and paste.
  • After you write your own words, have a friend compare the two so that you are sure that you’re not committing plagiarism.
    • Beware (grin)!
    • In my face-to-face classes, instructions have been read from every major brand of condoms, and many minor brands too. Instructions downloaded from several different Internet sites have also been read.
    • I don’t know them by heart, but I recognize them pretty easily.
• Include the brand name of the condoms whose printed instructions you worked from, or a link to the Internet site where you got the original instructions from.
