​

Discover Log #7:

Thinking about our Intersections: Situations and Genres project - for this entry, focus on researching audiences and the types of genres they are exposed to.

Try to focus on 2 types of audiences. Do not be general and say "Americans." Pinpoint specific groups that are interested in your topic or need to know something about your topic that you want to target.

Why do you want to target them?

What types of writing are they exposed to?
