Activity 3: TaskStream

Go to TaskStream and enter a description of your intended audiences under Task 9.

• Please note the following directions: “In order to prepare a speech that will interest a particular audience, you need to describe your audience, which may differ from the audience of your research paper.”
• Also, keep in mind that you may prepare your presentation for an “ideal” audience, not necessarily for the audience that you will actually have while performing your presentation.

 Please feel free to contact the Language and Communication mentor through the LC community if you have further questions.

CHECKLIST: Before submitting LCTA task 9, check to see if you have completed the following:

1. Have you provided a description of your audience and the level of their expertise for the presentation?
2. Have you described your audience's attitudes, your tone, level of approach,style and need for formality/informality in regard to them?
3. Have you provided an explanation of your desired audience response?
4. Have you provided an explanation of your audience expectations regarding demeanor, approach, and level of formality in your presentation?
5. Can you name an alternative audience that might be interested in your presentation?
6. Can you predict what differences you would make between the two audiences you might present to--the actual audience and an alternative audience?
7. Does your work contain complete sentences and under 2-3 mechanical and grammatical errors?

If you have any further questions or would like a more detailed list, please see the rubric in TaskStream.
