Getting to know your audience, was an assignment I enjoyed. There was a wide range of questions and responses, which provided me insight into my audience that I will be working with throughout the semester. I found it interesting how diverse some of the questions were. For instance, some questions required deep thought and personal reflection, such as “What drives you as an individual? Are you driven from past experiences or future expectations?” While other questions were more playful and carefree, such as “In an apocalyptic scenario, what Disney character would you most want to be paired with?” This shows me the audience is not only serious about writing, they are also open-minded and easy going.
I thought the responses to the question “What are your goals in life after college” were interesting. Everyone seem to have a plan in mind about what he or she wants to do after college, and are working hard to achieve those goals. I realized that despite our different back grounds, ages, and life experiences we have a lot in common. We are all attending college classes either on- line or seated to building a better future for their families, land the job of our dreams, or for personal self- improvement.
While, we may never meet in person, this exercise has allowed us all to get to know each another through written word. I believe because of this exercise, I will be more comfortable sharing my writing assignments with the class. I feel the knowledge I have gained from reading the responses to the question, I won’t be judged or criticized for my inadequate writing skills. I am confident, I will receive constructive positive criticism from my audience, which will help me succeed in becoming a better write.
I also liked this exercise. It made me realize that we are all different writers and people. I liked this post because well first my question is in here. lol Second, because I like what you said at the end, "I feel the knowledge I have gained from reading the responses to the question, I won’t be judged or criticized for my inadequate writing skills. I am confident, I will receive constructive positive criticism from my audience, which will help me succeed in becoming a better write." I'm glad you feel confident, you should. I liked this sentence because I never really thought that getting to know your audience would make you feel more confident, but in a way I guess this is true.
