Pre-Lesson Task
Question: Who is the target audience for your course-long project? How have you already made your writing appropriate for that target audience? What could you still do to make it more appropriate for your target audience? (2-3 sentences)
We will look more at different audiences in this unit. If you do not have any ideas before beginning the lessons, be sure to return to this question afterwards!
