Intentions And Appeal

Worksheet Description

The “Audience Analysis” worksheet is a strategic guide designed to help students prepare for writing or speaking by considering their audience’s characteristics. The worksheet asks students to define what they will write or speak about, identify their intended audience, and predict the impact their message might have. It further prompts students to deliberate on how to connect with their audience intellectually and emotionally and to decide which type of appeal would be most effective and why.

This worksheet is teaching students to be mindful of their audience when creating a message, a fundamental aspect of effective communication. It encourages them to think about how their words can influence their listeners or readers and to craft their message to maximize this impact. By analyzing how to appeal to both the intellect and emotions of their audience, students learn to communicate in a more engaging and persuasive manner. The goal is to foster an understanding of the various ways one can connect with an audience and the importance of choosing the right approach for a given situation.
