Instruction
This discussion has two parts!
Part I: Meet and Greet
1. Share what you feel comfortable sharing (career, educational goals, family life, hobbies).
2. Answer this question: What are three things from your life that impact your writing?
Part II: Audience and Communication
In Lesson 1, we discussed audience awareness. As you move forward in our course, think about audience. Think about audience in all things that you do. If your coffee is not right at Starbucks, then think about the barista as your audience before you air your grievances. If you need to bring something up to your superior, consider how you are automatically aware of audience as you plan your strategy.
For Part II of this discussion board, consider all of the different audiences you encounter throughout the day on a weekly basis. Who do you talk to and encounter? How do you change your approach with each audience? Do you speak differently to friends than you do to your children? If you have to call an insurance company, do you speak differently to the agent on the phone than to your grandmother? Describe at least two interactions and how they are different from one another. You might want to include two interactions that describe your life situation, like where you work or live.
Part II Post: DO: Describe at least two interactions and how they are different from one another. You might want to include two interactions that describe your life situation, like where you work or live.
