Problem:
Locate a document that is used in a technical workplace through a search engine like Google, Bing, or Yahoo. To find documents, type in keywords like "report," "proposal," "instructions," and "presentation." (You might find it helpful to limit your search to documents in PDF format.) What characteristics make the document you found a form of technical communication? Post a paragraph for your classmates in which you highlight these characteristics of the document. Also, compare and contrast the document with academic essays you have written for your other classes. What specific features do technical communication and essay writing share? In what specific ways do they differ?
