CLASS:
1. Review the important aspects of Audience Awareness.

• Purpose
• Checklist to consider for Audience Awareness: Handout Audience Awareness

2. We are going to practice crafting a message, using audience awareness.

IN CLASS PRACTICE:
With a classmate, you will construct a group explanation of the car accident. Open one document, and share it with the other. You will each submit this document to Schoology.

You were in a slight, no-injury, car accident...
As a group, you will construct an explanation of the accident for three different audiences.. This will be in NARRATIVE FORM. You can use "I"... "You" for this exercise. I am not concerned about dialogue... or formatting. This is an informal practice exercise. I am most concern with you showing how you can differentiate between audiences... attending to their needs.
Be thoughtful of "What do they want?" and "What do they need?"
1. Your parents.
2. Your insurance company.
3. Your Best Friend.

Consider the purpose of communication AND audience awareness. What needs to be included? What needs to be omitted? What about the tone? What is the ultimate purpose for each audience?

Use your notes from last class period to craft your explanation.
