Technical Writing Lesson Plan
Technical writers must consider audience, purpose, context, length, complexity, and the specific content of the instructions. In this lesson, students create technical instructions by first analyzing existing instructions. They then select an item and an audience for which they will write technical instructions. After writing their own instructions, students conduct usability tests of each other’s instructions, providing user feedback. Finally, they use this user feedback to revise their instructions before publishing them.
