It is clear that in my attempt to teach my dad to use a computer, my purpose was just that-- to teach him to use a computer. My audience was simply my dad, because my instruction was directed towards him. The genres used in this instruction were all non-print genres, and both aural and multimodal. I used dialogue and instruction in the "aural" category, because I was talking one-on-one with my dad to try to reach my goal. In the "multimodal" category of genre, I used a website, primarily so he could learn through both visual and auditory methods.
 * Revisit your teaching attempt and your healthy meal research/presentation:**
 * How did genre, audience, and purpose figure in those processes?**

When trying to present the healthiest meal possible for under five dollars, our purpose was pretty clear (to present the healthiest meal possible under the cost of five dollars). Our presentation was directed towards an audience consisting of college students, families, or any single person looking to cook a meal of the best nutritional value, for the lowest cost. We used an assortment of genres during this presentation. First, we used a picture of our meal of choice (Chicken and Rice) in attempts to draw the audience's attention. We created somewhat of an advertisement, which is considered another genre; in this advertisement, we included a descriptive paragraph as to what "healthy" truly means. Lastly, we included a recipe to show the five simple ingredients required in making our nutritious meal.
