1) I believe my main audience focus will be students/family members of potential students that might utilize the HEP program and potentially employers of migrant farm workers.
2) A basic overview of the HEP program will need to be provided what it is how it works etc…
3) I think the audience will view the topic as interesting and important, a few might not like it due to the controversy surrounding immigration.
4) The topic is a controversial one because it involves both legal and illegal immigrants and the agricultural business but my main focus will be on the success and necessity of the program and how it directly affects our local and federal economies. As well as the people it directly affects.
5) I will try to take as unbiased a stance as possible and through the use of facts graphs and photographs etc… I will establish a certain level of credibility through the fact that I have worked at the HEP program.
6) I believe programs like HEP have a greater importance above and beyond the obvious education of a minority group. The level of education these migrant workers obtain will directly affect them but it will also have an effect on our economy and the agricultural industry as well.
Travis: Love it. Some notes:
ReplyDelete1. “I believe my main audience focus will be students/family members of potential students that might utilize the HEP program and potentially employers of migrant farm workers.”—Here, it would have been helpful for me to see how you’re thinking about the similarities and the differences between these two audiences. How do you plan to address both?
5 and 6) “I will try to take as unbiased a stance as possible…”—The key here, is “as possible.” Though it’s important to seem reasonable (well, to be reasonable), it’s also important to put forward your own perspective… which is: “I believe programs like HEP have a greater importance above and beyond the obvious education of a minority group. The level of education these migrant workers obtain will directly affect them but it will also have an effect on our economy and the agricultural industry as well.”—This seems to be your thesis.
Keep it up!
