At the beginning of this unit, audience was a secondary concern for me. I saw them as the readers that would read my text, but I didn’t have a clear idea of how to get them to stay. My main goals were capture their attention, and get your story of message across. I am mostly interested in persuasive writing, so I mainly focus on how to best get my message across. The things we’ve learned this unit have better shaped my approach.
The first long text we read was Anzaldua. This text was a very good read at how to get better at writing. She was very engaging in her text, and spoke to the reader in different ways. She asked the readers questions to engage them, and made them feel connected by using specific examples from her life.
Reading that text made me change a few things in my head for future writing. An easy way to engage readers is use the methods from her writing. Looking at other peers posts, there are many other good writing strategies relating to audience. Properly using paragraphs, examples with clear explanations, and spacing out the material. I learned this unit some basic beginning strategies on how to become a better writer, and it will help my writing in this course and beyond.
