1 Week 3 Writing Notebook Audience Analysis Activity Each week you will have an opportunity to practice different aspects of the writing process in a writing notebook. It consists of a template you will fill out and submit in Canvas. In addition to introducing and practicing targeted components of the writing process, these notebooks are meant to help you to determine your own strengths and to identify opportunities for growth. This week, the writing notebook focuses on how to set expectations and analyze your audience to communicate most effectively to them. STEP ONE: Considering Your Audience Explore the information on the Considering Audience webpage and consider how your writing might change depending on the audience. 1. Which audience would be most difficult for you to write for? How would you describe the audience you are most likely to write for academically? Professionally? The audience that would be the most difficult to write for would be the experts of what I am writing about. The audience I would describe I am most likely to write academically for are my peers and professors, and professionally write for some potential employers. STEP TWO: Changing Audiences Explore the information on the Audience Analysis downloadable worksheet and consider your Week 2 written assignment. 1. Who was your audience? All demographics of working class adults that have the means and wants of a pet. Or even kids trying to persuade parents on a pet. 2. How did you want your audience to react? I want my audience to be informed on why cats are just as good of a house pet as dogs are. ENG121 Week 3 Writing Notebook

2 STEP THREE: Audience Analysis in Practice Let’s combine the work you have done so far to create a game plan for audience analysis. Activity 1: Consider the step-by-step process for audience analysis that is explained on the Audience Analysis worksheet. 1. Describe a situation in written communication where you may be called upon to deliver information. This may be a situation you have encountered, or one you expect to encounter professionally. A situation in written communication where I may be called upon to deliver information is when there are underlying questions to my writing, or comments someone has made towards the subject the writing is about. 2. Explain how you would communicate this information to different audiences. Note: You don’t have to write any communication in full, but please use detail to show how your communication would vary depending on the audience. The information being communicated to different audiences would depend on the audiences. The audience I am trying to reach is most people in the US. I would have to change the vocabulary and tone of the writing when writing more professionally and make it more serious. It is educational but not necessarily academic, so writing academically I would also need to change the vocabulary and tone and, the format of the writing. STEP FOUR: Review and Reflect Review your work in this Writing Notebook. What challenges did you face? Which aspects of audience analysis were new to you, or which aspects might you have already been familiar with? In no more than 150 words, please reflect on your work in this activity. The hardest part of this Writing Notebook was the audience and the organization of the format to make sure the writing flows together. I have known about the writing for the audience but I have never broken it down like the Audience Analysis Worksheet does. It was super insightful and helpful through the process of this worksheet.
