Look at the following list of technical writing examples. Please pay close attention to them as they are all good examples of what you will be required to write in upcoming Credit Unit Assessments.

Technical Writing Examples (Google Doc)

Pick one of the examples, from any category, from the list linked above. Read it carefully and determine the intended audience.

Using the AUDIENCE acronym introduced in How To Conduct an Audience Analysis (Google Doc), create an audience profile for your chosen example. Be sure to provide a link to the example you have chosen, and be sure to address the following components:

1. Describe the audience and use examples from the document to support your argument. For example, look at tone, word choices, language (plain English, technical, etc.), style, etc.
2. Address all 8 aspects of the acronym.
3. Would this audience appreciate graphics? Why or why not?
4. How does the lifestyle of this audience influence how you would design a technical document for them?
