Chapter 4 talks about analyzing your audience and why it is so important in technical writing

Chapter 4 talks about analyzing your audience and why it is so important in technical writing. Markel gives you three questions to answer about your audience.

1. Who is your reader?

2. What are your reader’s attitudes and expectations?

3. Why and how will the reader use your document?

For this discussion, pretend that you are a financial expert. You have been asked to prepare a 30 minute presentation for different groups. What will you talk about? What presentation methods would you use? How will you keep each audience interested in your overall topic? In other words, what would keep each audience interested in the topic of money and finance?

You must write about each group and tell what you would cover related to money and finance, and how you would cover it.

1. Second-grade students at a local elementary school

2. High-school seniors in May of their senior year

3. Recent college graduates

4. New parents

5. Recent retirees

**make sure to answer all the question and write about each group**
