On Audience
The appendix to this assignment sheet will provide
you with more a more detailed explanation of how
audience is typically thought about during the
revision process. While writers typically make this
considerations based on an “intended” audience, this
group of imagined readers are often divorced from
what we could call the “actual” readers. In other
words, a writer’s intended audience is tied to where
the writer chooses to circulate their writing. In a
classroom setting it is rare for an essay to be
circulated outside of the individual class and so the
appropriate question becomes, “where will my essay
circulate? Or who will have access to my ideas?”.
Final essays are typically circulated among two
groups: teachers at CCAC and students at CCAC.
These two large groups serve as the main audience
considerations for your ideas. As you can expect,
students make up a much larger percentage of the
readership for your essay than teachers. Both
groups branch out into smaller groups of individuals
with common interests, questions , and concerns (for
example: the community of nursing students at
CCAC). Your task as a writer is to revise your essay
in such a way that the changes you make, reflect the
needs and expectations of the community of readers
you identify.
