During Tuesday's class, you will receive a one-page letter written by the Wallhouse Hotel company. For Thursday's class, please complete the following:
1) What is the letter's purpose? Sum it up in a single sentence (write it on the back of the letter).
2) Who is the letter's audience? Be as specific as possible.
3) On your copy of the letter, highlight three choices the author makes that are based on knowledge of his or her audience.
4) For each choice you highlighted, describe the specific values or characteristics of the audience that the text appeals to. For example, if you highlighted, "Hey, fellow Buckeye fans," you might say that this appeals to the reader's enthusiasm for Ohio State football and the sense of community that exists among fellow enthusiasts.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
