Prewriting:

1. Look at the questions in the different resources listed in the audience analysis memo assignment description in the syllabus.
   • Figure 5.5, Audience Profile Sheet, in chapter 5, Analyzing your Audience, in the Markel text
   • the table, Identifying Individual Characteristics of Readers”, in chapter 5, Analyzing your Audience, in the Markel text.
   • the questions in the Analyzing your Audience section of the module 1 commentary
2. Identify your primary and secondary audience for your project. (You have done some of that already in your topic description.)
3. Develop a profile of your primary audience. (Use the Audience Profile Sheet in Markel, chapter 5, as a guide.) A blank copy of the Audience Profile Sheet from Markel is attached to this topic if you would like to use it.
4. Develop a profile of your secondary audience. (Use the Audience Profile Sheet in Markel, chapter 5, as a guide.) A blank copy of the Audience Profile Sheet from Markel is attached to this topic if you would like to use it.

Writing:

1. Write an introduction (a paragraph, maybe) for your memo in which you identify the purpose of your memo and briefly describe your project topic
2. Using the profile as a guide, write a narrative description of your primary audience under the heading, Who is my Primary Audience?”
3. Using the profile as a guide, write a narrative description of your secondary audience under the heading, Who is my Secondary Audience?”.
4. Write a conclusion for your memo.
5. Merge these different parts together and add transitions for a coherent document.
