1. Review and take notes on the Writing to an Academic Audience link...REALLY IMPORTANT!!! FOUND HERE:
UNC Writing Center: Audience Tips
2. To post in Schoology: pick THREE of your classes that you are enrolled currently.
a. Imagine you have been assigned a 3 page paper on a subject that you are currently studying in each class.
b. You are going to do a thorough analysis of what you think EACH teacher/audience will or will not want in the written communication from you.. This can be a list/bullet points.
c. To consider when doing this analysis: The information found above (academic audience link) + questions to consider that I gave you + your experience so far in that class + explicit references from the teacher + implied directions from the teacher
d. Make sure that you consider the "stuff" you want back from the written communication, so you can make sure that you have a realistic expectation of what your communication needs to achieve.
EXAMPLE:
