Know Your Audience Response

           First off, I really enjoyed the activity we did with all the questions and found it was really fun to go through and answer all of the questions that the class came up with! I really enjoyed the responses to my question about who has the best shot at winning the 2016 election in particular. I think it will be an interesting one for sure! I think I found that there were a lot more students older than me in the class so I think that knowing that will allow me to tailor my writing to an older group as an audience. As a 20 year old, it can often times be hard to connect to people older than me, at least through writing that is. Another thing I noticed was that the general political consensus from the class was different than what I believe, and that can also be important to know when thinking about the audience of your writing. The questions about personality were also enlightening because your writing should be able to be processed by anyone who reads it and often times that is not considered when writing. I like the brainstorming process in thinking about the audience that you are writing for and think that it is awesome that we did this activity to understand each other as an audience more! I look forward to seeing what others have to say about the activity and viewing the audience. I think we have a diverse class where many different ideas can be shared in a comfortable format that is good for all of us. I also think Ms. A is a great teacher for actually offering all the readings each week that reinforce what we are learning and assure that we will remember it after the class is over. I was scared that taking this class for less than 2 months would be too difficult, but I have not found issues and think this class is awesome! Hope everyone is having a great summer, and stay in the AC, it's a hot one this year!
