Writing a letter
Once you have written your letter, I’d like you to reflect on it a bit, thinking especially about why you chose this topic and what strategic choices you made as the writer to target your specific audience. Here are some questions to answer in your reflection:
- Why did you choose to write about this topic? Why does it matter to you?
- Who did you address this letter to, and why? Why did you think that this was the most appropriate audience for your letter?
- What moves or choices did you make in your writing to target this reader in particular?
- Why do you think that the writing choices you made will work to persuade your audience?
