English Target Audience

Improved Essays

I was able to target my audience by being able to relate to what they are going through. My first tactic I used was letting the audience know that I realized just how busy and stressful their lives can be. This is evident when I say “Homework, soccer practice, science fairs, wednesdays functions test, Mondays piano recital. It is no doubt why students begin to feel overwhelmed and stressed.” This immediately lets the audience know that I understand that being a teen can at times be overwhelming and it helps support my argument of why online english helps with time management. It allows you to have the opportunity of

    When authors write they must use strategies to both engage the reader and get their point across. These strategies are called rhetorical appeals and they determine whether or not a text is successful at getting the reader to see the main point. The Free Medical Clinic’s website is there to inform both potential volunteers and patients about how the clinic runs, the services provided, and opportunities that can be obtained at the clinic. The website uses many rhetorical appeals to get this point across, but it mainly uses style, pathos, and ethos to do so. Style is an identifying factor in writing; each person has their own style of writing and after a while people can even be identified as the author of a text purely upon the style of writing.…

    Throughout this semester in English 2010, our class has focused on various rhetorical concepts and techniques used by others and discussed and learned how to use them on our own behalf. Especially, how to identify and even seek out situations that either require a rhetorical response or ones that make a response possible even if is ultimately unwanted.

Additionally, gaining understanding in the contextual meaning and usage of particular language, allows me to use the appropriate rhetoric for a given situation and to be a more pertinent orator.

Since the most powerful man/woman in the world will be elected this November, I created a public service announcement (PSA) with a goal to get millennials informed about the 2016 presidential candidates by following them on Twitter.…

    The assumptions of andragogy contrast sharply with the assumptions of pedagogy, which are that learners are dependent personalities who bring little or no experience to the educational activity and learners attend to such activities because they have been told they need to do so. The subject matter is sequenced logically and centered on the subject versus personal learner needs, and the motivation to learn the subject matter is mostly external, such as from parents, teachers, or threat of failure (Knowles, 1984). Although Knowles first viewed andragogy as being dichotomous to pedagogy, he revised his views and thinking over time and stated he viewed andragogy and pedagogy as being on a continuum, noting that there were times when either approach might be appropriate based on circumstances and needs of the learner (Knowles,1984). Knowles (1980) called upon educators to employ a seven step process in order to implement and capitalize upon the assumptions of andragogy.…
