Week 2 - Discussion

Discuss the workplace challenge

Discuss

Take one workplace update and name two audiences who need it. Explain what must stay consistent and what you would change in the structure, tone, or channel.

Start with this situation

A coordinator must write one message that helps two different audiences take the right next step.

Build the audience comparison

  1. Choose one workplace update and name two audiences who need it.
  2. Explain what must stay factually stable and what should change in structure, tone, channel, or detail.
  3. Share one sentence for each audience and ask classmates which revision would most improve the reader's next action.

Your reply to a classmate

Identify one audience assumption in the post, then suggest a revision that makes the message more usable without changing the evidence.

What to include

  1. Name the audience, purpose, and desired action for each version.
  2. Use one Week 2 concept.
  3. Reply to one classmate by testing whether the proposed channel fits the situation.

Write for a real audience

Separate observations from assumptions, write for a real reader, and proofread for tone, accuracy, accessibility, and a response that invites further thought.
