Cohort HIS-200-Q5861-OL-TRAD-UG.21EW5 Module Four: Communicating Historical Ideas, continued | Learning Block 4-2 | Page 3 of 3 Audience and Message By now you should have a beginning idea of what your thesis statement and argument will be in your essay. Once you analyze and get to know the audience you are writing or (or choose to be writing for), you will have a clearer understanding of what message to convey in your essay, which is closely related to your thesis. Knowing your audience allows you to sele act which details to include and which to leave out. Understanding their level of knowledge on the topic will help you decide how much information to include, how formal or informal your writing should be, and how subjective you should be in your writing. When considering your audience, also remember why you are writing. The purpose of your writing is tied to the audience you are writing for. You should think about what you are trying to accomplish in your writing. For example, in your historical event analysis essay, you will be attempting to answer your research question by making an argument that ties back to your thesis statement. Some things to consider about your audience when writing your paper: . Will the audience expect you to cite scholarly sources? (In this course, the answer is yes!) Will the audience understand technical terms or jargon? . How much background information will the audience know about the topic? . Will the audience expect a particular format or point of view? (When writing for a class, it is usually best to check what formatting the instructor prefers.) As the writer of your essay, you need to communicate your message in a way that is tailored to your specific audience. You could consider your vocabulary, your audience's potential current knowledge of historical events, or lack thereof, and what is specifically important to the audience. Will your orical terminology and principles associated with your event, or will you need to explain these? All of these questions should be considerations when forming the message of your historical analysis essay. Crafting a succinct and clear message will make you a better writer in future courses, and in your day-to-day life as well.
