Read:
New McGraw Hill-Handbook: 29-33
On Writing: "The Role of Audiences" 172-178, "To Live and Die in Best Buy" 195-198 and "Tourist, Stay Home" 188-193
Watch:
Compare and contrast the audiences of Trask's essay and Knier's essay. While doing this you will want to identify the audience of each piece and point out some specific elements of each text that let you know who the audiences are. Are the readers of these pieces specialists or not? What tone does each author take? Are these tones appropriate?
Next, compare and contrast how these two movie trailers have different audiences. Address the way the stories are presented, the types of characters that are created, the fonts that are used in the trailers, the tone, color, dress, etc.
You must include at least one quote from EACH PIECE of your reading for this blog or you will not receive full credit!
