This reminds me of my intro to Computer Science class. My professor started us off with the Peanut Butter & Jelly Algorithm exercise [1]. I loved it. Nothing destroys your confidence quite like seeing a grown woman smash a peanut butter jar as hard as possible into an unopened loaf of bread.

I actually remember doing this in either grade 5 or 6, as part of a unit on procedural writing or something.

The entire class was divided into groups and tasked with making the teacher make a sandwich that we wanted. She just waited in front of a whole bunch of jams, mayo and cut up veggies and would “run” your paragraph to the letter. Everyone’s laughing while she’s spreading raspberry jam on lettuce but then the group realizes that’s the snack they’re getting.

That seriously still sticks with me almost 2 decades later!
