The assignment I chose to revise, is our first assignment of the semester. The audience analysis assignment. I chose this one because I had the hardest time with it. It also had the most grammatical and technical errors so I decided to go back and revise so I can get a better understanding of what I did wrong and how to fix it for the next time.
Organization
The essay was a little unorganized and jumped around a lot, so after properly reviewing it I realized that the essay needed to flow a little more so that the audience could get a simpler and clearer understanding of the essay. Because, I did not use heading I need to be to appropriately use the sections so that each one stood on its own and had a clear and precise subject on its own. So, I went through and reread each section and ended up changing them around so that it flowed smoother and had completed thoughts.
Completeness
Overall, the analysis was complete. It had a complete thought and theme that flowed throughout the essay. However, because of the organization of the essay, it was somewhat lost in the jumble of it all. I also noticed that in my subject choice, I failed to able to expand on the two websites more because they were so limited in the information that they gave.

I didn’t adjust the topic sentence issue and left that as it was. I realized that in several of my paragraphs I had unnecessary words, or information that had nothing to do with that particular paragraph. I had to go back and organize these paragraphs, I also noticed that they seemed kind wordy. I tried to fix this by taking out some of the unnecessary words, which did help with keeping the information centered on the topic of that particular paragraph. Most of my paragraphs were short and sweet. Only one exceeded the rest and I couldn’t find anything that I wanted to

The Website provides a section for “Professional” users, however, the majority of the area is again written for the general public. One area reviewed provides an “Education and Research” option that takes the professional reader to more technical writing sources contained within the National Kidney Foundation Website.

Audience analysis is described as the process of examining information about your listeners. Then using that analysis helps you adapt your message so that your listeners will respond as you wish (Steven A. and Susan J. Beebe, 2015). It is highly important to read your audience when presenting a speech, the first thing I noticed about my classroom audience was everyone has a good sense of humor and were open minded as to what they might be hearing. In this paper I will be analyzing my classroom audience and describing how they might react to my speeches and what is the best way to present my speeches. I will discuss the differences between each person and how their views will shape my speeches as a whole because ultimately I must appeal to my audience.
The various approaches to coaching and how much authority parents had depending on how involved they were. Transitions, such as closers or openers most of the paragraphs cause readers to be lost in the in the wrong areas and a quick switch of the setting hurt the initial and long-term meaning of the essay.
Overall, the essay seemed to lack flow as a result of a noticeable absence of transition words. The essay had bad syntax. Each paragraph seemed to be scenario after scenario and each sentence seemed to be idea after idea. For example, in the first paragraph, the list consisted of multiple sentences, instead of just one sentence with commas. “But they are few: Being mistaken for a wheat field by a cloud of locusts. Being buried alive”...“Interviews from film festivals.”, this seemed like an awful way to list ideas. In addition, the fourth paragraph of the essay was made up of only 2 sentences, one
Over the course of my observations of McComas Gym’s weight room, it was easy to figure out what type of audience would be interested in my essay. Based off this audience, I developed a persona who represents the weight room community by combining many of the characteristics I observed in individuals in the weight room. My developed persona is an ideal representative of an “insider” to the weight room community, as well as a representative of my essay’s audience.
Your analysis should introduce the essay and summarize its main points and its thesis. Your
Essay 1 was about a Mission Statement that I had to write for myself something personal which explains something that is truthful and explains who and what I am and what I am strving to achieve when searching my name “Brian Mamuyac”. What I did to prepare for this assignment was that our instructor gave us the prompt ahead of time and I created a rough draft and when we had to meet up in the computer room I just had to type up my essay and turn it in. The challenging part of this essay would be understanding the prompt because I had no idea what a Mission statement was and what I was supposed to do. For Essay 1 I was marked down for redundancy, repetition, grammar and spelling and also clutter. What I can do to prevent the errors in my next version would be to understand the prompt and directions more and have more ideas to write about myself.
Whenever giving a presentation it is important to properly communicate with your audience. In order for a presentation to be affective, the speaker must know who they are presenting to in order to inform, persuade, or entertain them. In order to be successful in getting your message across it benefits the speaker to have information about their guest such as their interest, likes and dislikes. You never want to go into a situation unaware of who your audience is in order to keep them interested.
The revision process for me was difficult. It was difficult because I thought that my ideas were clearly stated and organized. However, that was not the case. There were sections in which the language of my essay made the ideas that I was trying to convey disorganized. Other times I had too much going on and had to slow down the pace of the essay. In brief there were errors within my essay, therefore I needed to make revisions to improve the quality. There were many changes/revisions that I made. Firstly, I omitted a paragraph in which I made a relation to 187 Reasons Why Mexicans Can’t Cross The Border. Though it had good content in regards to identity, I realized that it threw off the idea of a close reading. The objective of this assignment
The best topic sentence is located in the seventh paragraph. This topic sentence is good because it summarizes what the paragraph will be talking
Overall, I would recommend that my professor should continue this assignment because I think it’s a different way to learn and think. What I liked about this assignment was writing the draft without any research first. I thought it was difficult to write however if made me think hard about what to write. This project also taught me that not all sources are credible. You must do the CRAAP test to determine if it’s a credible source. In conclusion I found this assignment to be very helpful for my major and the real world.
In writing an essay I also struggle with incorporating clear topic sentences and connecting my paragraphs ideas back to my thesis statement. This struggle is based on last years’ experience with writing essays. This struggle can be improved upon by concentrating on what exactly my thesis is stating and building my sentences to relate and explain the thesis further. Improving on this will allow my writing ability to increase and help me become a more successful writer.
That is where most of my mistakes are is in the body paragraphs. That is usual where I get off topic or start to ramble on about one thing which leads to one paragraph is longer than the others. My conclusions never connect the entire essay together which I also say needs improvement.
In my initial meeting with my advisor I received much insight regarding the errors my essay contained, and the revisions to be made that would improve the quality of my writing. As I began the draft of my introduction I had doubts on having enough content to develop a 4000-word essay on my topic and I was afraid my essay would become repetitive. Upon reading my paper my advisor pointed out ways in which the organization of my information needed improvement or readjustment. I had realized that a lot of the information I incorporated was mixed in with other points in different paragraphs, and together my advisor Ms. Lugo and I came up with designated paragraphs incorporating the separated fragments into single complete paragraphs that helped
In this audience analysis, I have addressed a situation in which I am called on to present quarterly sales information at an in-person meeting to a group of stakeholders, including managers, salespeople, and customers. I will explain how I will address the communication to this audience by answering the following questions: (1) What characteristics of the audience must I consider?, (2) What communication channels are appropriate? (3) What are some considerations to keep in mind given the diversity of the audience?, and (4) How would I ensure that my message is effective?
