Addressing specific audiences and writing occasions
I sue scenario bbased exercises to teach this.. One example is telling them the following: You have been in a one vehicle accident with an electrical pole in the middle of the night. You have to explain the accident to three different people with three different purposes, which are listed below. Spend five minutes brainstorming the first one for discussion and then we will go on and do the other two as well.What would you say to acheive your goal and purpose? what level of diction/ formalithy would you use? How would you use emotional appeals to achieve your goal?
Audience purpose goal
policeman persuade not to give you a ticket
owner of the car inform/ persuade about the accident, persuade to loan you thier other vehicle until the other one is repaired
wildest friend entertain to make the story as scary, funny or interesting
from high school as possible
in a phone conversation
Assessment:When the students have completed part one, ask them to share their answers with the class on a volunteer basis. Ask the class members to assess either in writing ( for each section, one sentence
