3-1 Discussion: Sharing Texts and Audiences

In this discussion, you will reflect on the Module Two reading response and written response assignments. You will share which text you chose as the basis for your project, as well as the audiences you chose and your rationale for selecting those audiences.
Remember to remain thoughtful and respectful toward your peers and instructor in your initial and response discussion posts.

Create one initial post and respond to at least two of your classmates. For your initial post, address the following:

1. First, please share the title of the article you selected for your project.
2. Then, list the two audiences you chose for your project. For each audience, address the following:
   a. Describe the audience.
   b. Explain why you chose that audience.
3. Remember that these are the audiences you will address in your project, not the audiences the writer of the article intended to address.
   Consider the following questions as you craft your post:
4. Audience of the first version of your paper:

• Who is the audience of your first analysis essay?
• Why is this audience a good choice for your analysis?
• Why does this audience need to understand these ideas?
• How can this audience put these ideas to use?
• How will your analysis (and these ideas) change the lives or thoughts of the audience?

Audience of the second version of your paper:

• Who is the audience of your second analysis essay?
• Why does this audience need to understand these ideas?;
• How can this audience put these ideas to use?

For your response posts, address the following:

1. What do you find interesting or admirable about their audience choices?
2. Do you have ideas about ways each audience might connect to this article beyond what they have said?
3. Can you extend their ideas to expand the connections between audience and article? Please explain and describe the connections you imagine for their work.
