![Page 12: Technical Reading and Writing …a Partnership](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568167e3550346895ddd4ad8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
American Diploma Project (ADP)
Schools need to train students to “communicate essential information effectively via email, write proposals
to obtain new business, communicate key instructions to colleagues, or convey policies to
customers .”
![Page 13: Technical Reading and Writing …a Partnership](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568167e3550346895ddd4ad8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Academic vs. Technical?
• Technical writing has little room for revision/editing.
• Academic writing is based on the premise of revision/editing.
![Page 14: Technical Reading and Writing …a Partnership](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568167e3550346895ddd4ad8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Technical writing is a natural partner to academic writing. It is
descriptive, creative, and expository, but the format is
different and the standards are higher.
Technical writing requires 100% accuracy.

Close Reading…the SOAP
• Many Career Tech students are not exposed to grade-level, appropriate Informational Reading; thus, they are usually below grade level for reading.

Using SOAP Technique for Independence
• S = SUBJECT of the text.• O =OCCASION for which the text was created.• A= AUDIENCE for whom the text was written.• P = PURPOSE of the text.

Occasion…What occurred?

Audience…Who Should Care?
• Music, TV ads, books, video games…are ALL created with a specific AUDIENCE in mind…for example, who would purchase or upload the “Flappy Birds” APP vs. “Candy Crush”?

Purpose: What action does the writer want YOU to take?
