Why is a drawing a sketch an important part of the scientific method and why do you always neglect this step!?!?

I think drawing a sketch is important. It gives you a better idea of understanding the question. Drawing a sketch also gives you a better idea of what you are building. When you draw out a sketch you know which direction you are going, and then you can work faster and better while you are doing the project. I think sometimes we neglect this step, because some times we don't fallow the sketch that we draw, because the sketch it self is too hard to be built. And sometimes we just want to built it first then fix it later.

Jaguar Paw

After the jaguar paw go into the forest, they were really tired. They walked for a long time in the dark rainy forest. When they were hungry, the jaguar paw hunted several rabbit to feed the family. After a few days of walk, they saw a village. Around the village, they saw a lot of starving people. They were all hungry and sick, because of the diseases that the Spanish brought. Jaguar Paw and his family try to keep in distance with the villager, because they are afraid to get the diseases getting too close. Disappointed and depressed, the Jaguar Paw and his family have to move on.
They climb over mountains and cross over rivers. One day, Jaguar Paw heard a loud noise in sleep. He woke up immediately, and tell his family to hide in the caves. He went out try to find out what is happening. He hide in the woods and glimpse out. He saw a troop with weapons that he never saw before chasing the Mayas soldiers. He saw the mayas soldiers die without being touch. He was really frighten and scared. Then he saw the clothes that the Spanish wear is extremely hard, the Mayas try to kill them with their sowards and spears, but it just doesn't work at all. The saw hundreds of mayas being killed and shot. He sprint back to the cave, and tells his family to run quickly, because the spanish is coming towards them. The Jaguar paw carries his two sons and run as fast as he could. His wife fallows behind them. They heard the gun shots and people yelling behind them. They run faster. After a running for a day, they were really tired and fall a sleep.
When the Jaguar Paw and his family woke up. They were on a bed. Jaguar Paw sits up, and discovered that they were in a village. The people in the village were happy and healthy. Jaguar and his family then settle in that village for the rest of his life, living happily ever after.
