Technical genre
The goal of technical writing is to clearly communicate a select piece of information to a targeted reader or group of readers for a particular purpose in such a way that the subject can readily be understood. It is expository writing that requires a response from the reader. "
This semester, I was an intern (called “practicum”) for a first grade teacher at a high- socio economic school. I really have struggled with the question I ask myself every day, “what makes a good teacher?” I have this obsession with being the very best teacher in the world when I start teaching. I get anxiety that I won’t be good enough, am not even close to good enough, constantly question teachers who I observe, and don’t know if I can realistically fulfill this gigantic role in young lives. Will I be all that they need and want, will I be nice but still firm, will I give them an early positive image of education, will I really give them the most ACCURATE information? I have struggled my whole life with the notion that I’m not smart enough, and now I really ask myself every day this same question.
