Signature Assignment #3: Audience Profile
WR 121/Gross
To and for whom do writers write?
What is the purpose of this assignment?
The purpose of this assignment is twofold: 1) to develop a stronger theoretical understanding of audience through analysis, and 2) to develop a practical tool that you yourself can use when considering audience—as a writer—in the future.
What should the assignment communicate?
This assignment has two parts. For Part 1 of this assignment, you will choose a piece of rhetoric to analyze, much as you did in Signature Assignment #2. Then, you will provide robust explanations (aim again for 200 words apiece!) of:
the addressed audience
the invoked audience
Your explanations should demonstrate you spent time doing your own external research and contemplating the meaning of each for the piece of rhetoric you chose. Sources should be cited using MLA citation practices (that means both in-text citations and a Works Cited/Consulted).
For Part 2 of this assignment, you should develop your own heuristic[1] for use in future writing situations. Aim for 5-10 solid questions for your heuristic[2], keeping in mind what you know about audiences being both addressed and invoked. Then, provide a rationale for your heuristic (about 200 words) that explains your choice of questions. Note: the rationale can be provided subsequent to the heuristic, or you might provide rationale for each question individually. Do what feels most useful to you going forward.
How do I write it?
As with all assignments, there is no one right way to do it. Generally speaking, though, the following might help you give shape to your work this week:
Choose the piece of rhetoric that you want to analyze. Here are some choices:
Christianity Today editorial, “Trump Should be Removed from Office”
Nicholas Carr, “Is Google Making Us Stupid?”
Michelle Williams’ 2020 Golden Globes acceptance speech
Gloria Anzaldua, “How to Tame a Wild Tongue” (essay)
Jean Twenge, “Have Smartphones Destroyed a Generation?” (article)
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, “The Danger of a Single Story” (Ted Talk)
Rosario Couto Costa, “The place of the humanities in today’s knowledge society” (article)
Something of your choosing (with instructor approval)
Get comfortable with what you’ve chosen by reading/listening/watching carefully, multiple times. Keep an eye out for “clues” to the audience (here is where the videos on “Reading Like a Writer” should help!).
Do some outside research on the audience for your rhetoric. Be creative, and don’t limit yourself to Google! Remember to take notes—writing is part of doing research!
Look back through your notes and consider where you were asking questions both explicitly and implicitly about audience. Start culling these for your heuristic.
Compose your assignment (if you’ve been taking notes, you already have material to work with at this point . . .).
