Since you did not select any specific options (ExplainAnswer, TeachTopic, or GeneratePractice are all false), I will provide a completed example of the worksheet to show you how to fill it out correctly.
To make this helpful, I have created a
hypothetical scenario to answer the questions. Imagine you are a student giving a presentation to your class about
"Why We Should Have a School Garden."
Here is how you would fill out the form for that topic:
Name: [Your Name]
Audience Analysis
Who will be in your audience? Circle all that apply.
*
peers (This is the correct choice if you are presenting to your classmates)
What does this audience expect you to talk about?
* They expect me to explain why a garden would be fun and useful for students, and how it could work during lunch breaks or science class.
What demographic information do you have about your audience (i.e., age, gender, education, experience with topic, etc.)?
* They are all students in 7th grade (approx. 12–13 years old). They are mixed gender. Most of them have eaten vegetables but haven’t grown them themselves. They all attend the same school.
What kind of information does your audience need to know about this topic?
*
details and
specific data
*
Explain: They need to know exactly what plants we could grow, how much space it would take up, and who would be responsible for watering the plants so they don't die.
What is your audience going to do with this information?
*
form an opinion
*
Explain: After hearing my presentation, they will decide if they think the garden is a good idea or a bad idea, and whether they want to sign a petition supporting it.
What are your audience’s biggest concerns or objections likely to be?
* They might worry that maintaining the garden will take too much time away from their free time at lunch. They might also worry that it will attract bugs or bees near where they eat.
What do you want your audience to think, feel, or understand?
* I want them to feel excited about growing their own food. I want them to understand that a school garden can be easy to manage if we work together, and that it will make our school look better and provide fresh snacks.
