Revisiting

Revisit your teaching attempt and your healthy meal research/presentation: How did genre, audience, and purpose figure in those processes? The genre for my teaching attempt (teaching my roommate a few chords on my guitar), was a personal demonstration of guitar, and a song that included the few chords I was teaching her. This made it easier for her to hear how the chords should sound, rather than her learning through me sitting there and telling her what to do. A visual and an audio demonstration probably made it easier for her. The audience, was my roommate. Because my roommate is someone that is not particularly musically inclined and has never played an instrument before, I had to talk to her without using technical terms, and with patience. The way I explain something about a guitar to a musician and the way I explain something about guitar to a person who hasn't played before are completely different. The purpose of me teaching was to make it possible for her to be able to play a few chords on guitar for the fun of it.

During my group's healthiest meal presentation, some of our genres were a flyer demonstrating how our meal was prepared, a picture of it, a picture of it, and what was needed to make this meal. It was rather professional looking and appealing to the eye. This would make people want to try out meal out for themselves. The audience included Professor Sherry, an ex-resteraunt manager, and our fellow peers. To make our presentation believable/convincing to all people in our audience, we had to sound confident and intelligent about what we were presenting. We had to answer any questions asked thoroughly. The purpose of our presentation was to inform and persuade others why our meal was the healthiest.
