Connection Between Message and Audience (week 8)

The IP Multimodal Memoir - Audience Analysis assignment during week 8 helped me better learn the course objective of “analyz[ing] relationships between medium, genre, purpose, audience, and context in appropriate genre models” (Student Learning Outcomes / Course Objectives). By doing the audience analysis assignment, I had to find out the audience of my publication, Narratively, including both psychographics and demographics. This will help me cater my memoir more effectively to the audience by making sure my message/purpose is relevant to them, which is also supported by this learning outcome. For example, the Narratively audience is liberal and wants to look at diverse viewpoints, and my message is to keep on learning so that you can protect your rights.

Learning Connection Between Audience and Purpose (Audience Analysis assignment)

This demonstrates strengthening of writing skills because I can, in a sense, market my writing to the audience by making sure that the audience is interested in my message.

This learning has also developed my ethos more because I have developed my credibility more by adhering to the conventions of academic writing of connecting purpose, audience, etc. Without doing this assignment, I might have not known the importance of connecting the different components of the memoir, meaning that I would have not adhered to the writing conventions of a memoir.

Understanding the course objective has also helped me become part of the Writing Forty Five discourse community because I am participating in working towards the goals of Writing Forty Five. Broadly, this can mean becoming a better writer or understanding the rhetorical triangle.
