The Pack contains associated resources for the learning experience, typically in the form of articles and videos. There is a teacher Pack (with only teacher information) and a student Pack (which contains only student information). As a teacher, you can toggle between both to see everything.
Here are the teacher pack items for Knowing Your Audience:
Overview In this experience, students identify and analyze how writers vary their writing depending on the audience. They evaluate how authors choose register, tone, and voice for the audience. Then they examine word choice by analyzing passages to determine the intended audience. Finally they write a passage for a specific audience. Students will collaborate in small groups for scene 5. Objectives Duration
When you write, you are communicating a message to your readers. You adjust what you say and how you say it, depending on your audience. In this experience, you will identify how the audience impacts a writer’s register, tone, voice, and word choice.
Objectives
How would you decide on a menu and which items to buy when you go to the store?
Let students discuss how they would set a menu and making a shopping list for the family dinner. If chefs don’t choose a menu that suits the diners, the people may never even taste the food. If chefs don’t follow a recipe, the meal might not be tasty.
How is cooking dinner for your family similar to writing? Hint: What “recipe” do you use when writing?
Both cooking and writing are done to produce an end product. Writing that doesn’t follow the “recipe” may be unclear and difficult to read.
