Consider the sample flowchart at the right as an example of a flowchart that might be used to troubleshoot. Your assignment will be to create a (more serious) flowchart that could be used to troubleshoot any system or device in your home. Using the drawing tools and shapes in Microsoft Word, or another word processing program, create a simple flowchart. Use a diamond shape for each branching decision point in your flowchart.
