Revisit your teaching attempt and your healthy meal research/presentation: How did genre, audience, and purpose figure in those processes? In this In trying to teach my girlfriend calculus, genre, audience and purpose were important in attempting to make the most effective lesson plan. In teaching her calculus my audience was my girlfriend and my purpose was to easily teach her how to use derivatives. However the genres I use to express this might not be so obvious. I used genres I felt would best react to my girlfriends areas of strong intelligence (gardners multiple intelligence tests). I first wrote the fuction down, and a step by step gide to solving the problem. These fell under the genres of a graph and instructions. After showing her the steps I made a song that was intended to help solidfy the lesson, this fell under the genre of a song.

In trying to make the healthiest meal possible for under 5 dollars our purpose was to make the best meal for under 5 dollars. Our audience was anyone who wanted to make a cheap, healthy meal for their family, or significant other. The genres we used were pictures, ingregients/nutrional values, and prices.
