teachers: do you get frustrated over the lack of quality in your students' writing? Do you feel that writing is out of your area of expertise? Are you confused about what technical writing is? Do you feel uncomfortable having to create writing assignments or assess them? This book has the answers! Writing can be broken down into the following types: descriptive, informative, research, analytic, and persuasive. Asked if these types of writing are used in business, most teachers would probably say no. But when a student writes a resume they are writing a persuasive document. When a person writes a trip report, they are writing a descriptive document. When a person writes a feasibility study, they are writing an analytic paper. Students are using the types, or discourses of writing, but doing so from a professional, not academic aspect. Teaching to the Future is a straightforward book about technical writing. It is meant for all CTE teachers whether they are technology or academic instructors. The book presents two very important components. First, it outlines clear and concise background on the definition, function, structure and style of technical writing.
