Audience Analysis and Research Activity

Audience Analysis and Research Activity

Using what you have learned from the “Audience Analysis” discussion and the information presented in Chapter 4 of the text, you will write an audience analysis in preparation for the Final Project (due in Week Five). For this assignment, consider your intended audience and describe its profile by:

1. Stating your topic from a list of choices.
2. Identifying the primary audience.
3. Determining the audience size and geographic distribution.
4. Determining audience composition.
5. Gauging your audience members’ level of understanding.
6. Understanding audience expectations and preferences.
7. Forecasting probable audience reaction.

Start by completing the audience analysis document. Then, summarize your findings in a 500- to 750-word audience analysis that addresses all of the elements above. At minimum, your assignment should contain at least five in-text citations. At the end of your essay, include a references page or annotated bibliography that contains a minimum of five reputable sources you will use for your Final Project (one of these entries should be your in-person interview, and another should be your textbook). It is understandable that some of the sources you use for this assignment may change as your project progresses. Your assignment should include a title page and be formatted according to APA style
