I agree Jordan(: We want to persuade the audience to agree with us and knowing what we're dealing with will help.


Hi Mrs. Miles :)



I completely agree! I wrote something similar. :)

Good point, I would not want to view a presentaion totally unrealated to my life in any way.

Agree Abbie!

I agree with Jordan because in order to persuade an audience or to convince an audience, you need to know their views on things




Yes of course! We want to audience for us, and not against us.

i agree wholeheartedly

I agree. You also don't want to offend them either.

couldn't have said it better myself

Yes! You wouldn't want the audience hating us, would we?

Good point about purpose Claire!

For example, oil spills: WE ARE SORRY.

Abbie is right in the sense that all people have different views. You need to analyze them in order to present a good, persuasive argument.
It is important to know and analyze our audience because it let's us appeal to them in the best way possible. Knowing their opinions on your topic let's you know what side to take if there is a bias, and allows you to give the best information to the audience.

agreed, it really alienates those that didn't understand

this is a good point to take into consideration when writing a speech

Exactly. We also don't want them to be on our side, not oppose us.



Yes!

Yes!

Good point about purpose Claire!

Yes!


Yes!

Good job connecting what we are learning to the real world.


Sorry Denny about that Denny.

Yes!

I agree with Tristan, if one were to only appeal to a third of an audience, there would be little to no understanding of the rest of the population.

Yes!

Yes!


I agree!

I agree! The tone is very important when trying to get your audience on your side.
