2. Know the target at which you are aiming. AUDIENCE

3.  The audience is a group of people receiving or consuming a rhetorician’s text.  The way a writer approaches an audience depends on the purpose of the writing and what the writer knows about their audience.  EXAMPLE:  A speaker who depicts smokers in a negative way in order to argue that smoking should not be allowed in public spaces should realize that the audience is made up of non-smokers AND smokers. This would be a poor judge of audience and result in an unsuccessful argument. WHAT IS THE AUDIENCE REALLY?

4.  Audience can be broken down further, into 3 types:  1.) The Intended or Ideal Audience: the audience that exists in the rhetorician's mind when writing their argument.  2.) The Invoked Audience: the audience that the rhetorician consciously (or unconsciously) represents in the text. Writers who directly address their audience as “you” are invoking a very specific audience, and often, this is not the same as the intended audience.  3.) The Real Audience: the people who actually read the text, who may or may not be the ones intended or invoked. For example, your Facebook posts are intended for one audience, but future-employers become part of the “real audience” for them. MORE THAN ONE!

5.  In your journals, please do the following with the sequence of images you are about to be shown:  1.) Write the number of the picture you are writing about  2.) Write in full sentences and as clean of handwriting as you can  3.)Identify who you think the intended (or target) audience is  4.) Give at lease 2 reasons to justify your thinking *To help, think about everything. Color choice, word choice, who is in the image, what age/gender/race/ethnicity are they? How are people/objects represented in the image? PRACTICE!

6. EXAMPLE: The black and white photo of the girl would appeal to an audience interested in historical fiction. The giant Newberry medal would appeal to an young audience in grade school.
