Overview
This week, we’re focusing on audience awareness and clarity of communication, which are skills that bridge the gap between academic and professional writing.
Reflecting on your Argumentative Research Paper, imagine you now need to adapt that same information for a different audience (e.g.: your coworkers, a client, or your supervisor).
For your initial post, briefly describe your argumentative topic and your initial audience. Then, explain how you would transform that same content for a different professional context. What would change in terms of tone, structure, and/or style? Then, complete the following:
- Identify the new audience for your research
- Share a short example (2–3 sentences) showing how you’d revise one section for your new audience
- Reflect on what you found most challenging about shifting from academic to business writing
