Prompt 1:
As a writer, knowing your audience is very important. For
your
final research paper, you are writing a paper that provides
an unbiased
presentation of two sides of a controversial topic. As such,
you can assume the
following about your audience:
Your audience may not be highly educated on the chosen topic
Your audience may not have an opinion on the chosen topic
Remind your classmates of the topic you have chosen.
Discuss what types of background information you will need to
include in your paper to help ensure your audience fully
understandings the
underlying problem.
Discuss what types of people might be interested in learning
more
about your chosen debate.
Explain why it is important to educate your audience on your
topic.
In addition to your main response, you must also post
substantive
responses to at least two of your classmates’ posts in this
thread. Your
response should include elements such as follow up questions,
further
exploration of topics from the initial post, or requests for
further
clarification or explanation on some points made by the
classmates.
Discussion
Prompt 2:
To be an effective writer, it is extremely important to
understand
not just the purpose behind your writing project but also the
audience that you
are addressing.
For this writing log, you need to accomplish the following
tasks:
Think about a presentation that you could give on your
research
paper topic.
Describe your topic and your purpose behind your
presentation.
Identify three different audience types who might be
interested in
the topic.
Explain the differences between how you will approach your
different audiences based on their knowledge base and their
preexisting
viewpoint on the topic.
For example, if you were writing about “online education
versus
traditional on-ground education,” you could give a
presentation about why
online education has more benefits for returning learners
than on-ground
education does. Three audiences who might be interested in
this topic are
administrators at a traditional college considering opening
an online
component, potential returning students deciding whether to
apply for a ground
or online program, and students already enrolled in an online
program. While
each group has an interest in the topic, the presentation
should shift
according to the audiences’ interests, background knowledge
on the topic, and
point of view. You should explain which approaches are needed
and what
different points you might focus on for each audience.
