Audience Awareness

Entering Activity: Students will make a list of three possible audiences they are considering for their reflective piece.
Anticipatory Set: I will go over with students today’s agenda – that we will be having a discussion about possible audiences for our pieces and we will be doing some reflective writing in response to the yellow sheet questions.
Teaching and Learning: I will teach students that the Letter to the Reviewer that used to be included in the portfolios has been replaced by the more open-ended reflective writing. It will be up to students to decide the form and the audience.
Guided Practice: I will lead the students in a discussion of possible audiences and what each reader will need to know. We will make a t-chart to record this info.
Independent Practice: Students will think about what audience they are going to have in mind and answer one of the reflective questions during flashdrafting time.
Closure: I will have students share with one person who the audience of their piece will be.
