1. Review and take notes on the Writing to an Academic Audience link... found under "writing links".
2. In your notes, pick four of your classes that you are enrolled currently.
a. Imagine you have been assigned a 5 page paper on a subject that you are currently studying in each class.
b. You are going to do a thorough analysis of what you think EACH teacher/audience will or will not want in the written communication from you.. This can be a list/bullet points.
c. To consider when doing this analysis: The information found above (academic audience link) + questions to consider that I gave you + your experience so far in that class + explicit references from the teacher + implied directions from the teacher + Bloom's taxonomy
d. Make sure that you consider the "stuff" you want back from the written communication, so you can make sure that you have a realistic expectation of what your communication needs to achieve.
Characteristics you may mention:
Precise attention to grammar and mechanics.
Following citation guide to the letter.
Sources need to be strong and reputable.
Level of Bloom's:
