My audience in my piece

Who do you want to reach?

In my piece, I am reaching to those who are local residents of the park. Maybe new mothers who want to take their children out to play at a park. I am reaching out to all the people who are interested in the fire that happened a year ago.

What is your audience’s background- their education and life experiences?

Their background is they have been to school and most likely adults so that way they are able to read my piece. They could have experiences of growing up around the park or going there and want to know what the history of it is. Also, those who may have heard about the fire that happened in the park.

What are their interests?

They like the outdoors and getting exercise and enjoy the feeling of being outside. They care about their community and local parks and want to keep them around to enjoy.

Is there any demographic information that you should keep in mind?

Since my piece is about a local park, it is welcome to everyone. I’m basically writing my paper for any race, gender or sexual orientation.

What political circumstances may affect their reading?

Some political circumstances that may affect their reading is if they don’t think the park needs to clean the barn or get rid of it, that it has meaning, they may think it’s fine the way it is. They don’t want to have to worry about the extra money that will be needed to contribute to fixing up the park to help it out.

What does your audience already know- or believe- about your topic? What do you need to tell them? What is the best way to do so?

My audience already knows that it could be expensive to clean up the messes around the park and the barn. I would have to tell them there would be many volunteers to help with the cleaning. We would need as many people possible to be involved to help make the park safe and clean. The best way to tell my audience they should help in cleaning up is to let them know how it affects the way the park looks and those who attend the park and don’t like the bad memories of what happened to it.

What’s your relationship with your audience, and how does it affect your language and tone?

My relationship with my audience is they are my peers as well as my teacher. My language and tone in my piece will be more professional and be in a certain format instead of just thrown together. I would also have to check for grammar and punctuation in my piece, not like when I am talking online to my friends that stuff doesn’t matter.

What does your audience need and expect from you?

My audience expects me to know a lot about my place and its history. They’ll need me to be able to back up my case when I’m arguing for something to change about it, especially when there will most likely be money involved.

What kind of response do you want?

I would want a positive response and for my audience to agree with me in what I want to do. What I feel is best for our community in our local park. This could also help other people get involved and want positive changes throughout our local parks.

How can you best appeal to your audience?

I can best appeal to my audience by having my piece in a well written format, maybe with larger font if elder’s would want to read my piece. Also, to have it revised over several times to make sure it’s a good piece and that my audience will be able to understand it.
