- Ask an open-ended question to get your audience thinking about the topic, like "How many of you have thought about this issue before?"
- Use inclusive language like "our schools," "we," and "us" to show that you see your audience as part of the solution, not the problem.

The document provides guidance on defining topics for public speaking. It advises students to narrow broad topics by focusing on a specific issue, population, location, or event related to the overall topic. It gives examples of students narrowing the topics of "overuse of antibiotics" to "the contribution of overuse to antibiotic resistance" and "homeless children in Michigan" to "the effectiveness of education programs for homeless children in the state." The document stresses that properly defining topics makes research more focused and manageable.
Audience theory
Stuart Hall proposed three ways that audiences can respond to texts:
1) Preferred/dominant readings where the audience interprets the text as intended.
2) Negotiated readings where the audience agrees with some parts but not others.
3) Oppositional/resistant readings where the audience's beliefs conflict with how the text portrays something.
This means a text cannot have a static meaning since audiences can interpret it differently based on their experiences.

AS Media, MS1 Audience theory revision crossword
Audience theory proposes different ways that audiences engage with media texts, from active interpretation to passive acceptance of messaging. Some key theories include the uses and gratifications perspective where audiences access media to learn or be entertained, and the encoding/decoding model where interpretation can vary from fully sharing ideological codes to making meaning in alternative ways. The mode of address and ideological proximity between audiences and media can influence reactions and levels of cultivation.
ASY1 Media Studies Audience Response
The document discusses several theories related to how media affects audiences:
- The hypodermic needle theory suggests media has a direct effect on audiences by "injecting" ideas and behaviors, but it is an oversimplified view.
- Cultivation theory proposes that repeated exposure to media shapes peoples' perceptions of reality over time, even for light viewers, by reinforcing mainstream values.
- Reception theory focuses on the active role of audiences in interpreting meanings from media texts based on their own experiences and contexts, rather than meanings intended by producers. Different audiences can derive different readings from the same text.
Prep for mock exam
Good exam answers include specific examples, are well structured using paragraphs and full sentences, and incorporate relevant media theory. Students should explore potential topics and examples for each question to choose strong case studies and texts that can be analyzed using appropriate regulations, contemporary issues, and theories. The focus of the questions is on media concepts using the provided texts, issues and debates bringing in outside examples, and wider contexts requiring analysis beyond just the texts. High scoring answers will thoroughly reference the texts, include a range of points, integrate the student's own opinions backed by evidence, and for some questions discuss different perspectives on an issue.
Audience Theory
This document discusses various audience theories related to how and why audiences consume media texts. It addresses three key questions: why audiences choose certain texts, how they consume them, and the effects of consumption. Theories discussed include the effects model, uses and gratifications, and reception theory. The effects model views audiences as passive, while uses and gratifications sees them as active. Reception theory examines how meanings are encoded and decoded differently. The document also covers Stuart Hall's work on dominant, negotiated and oppositional readings based on the audience's social and cultural experiences.

Summarizing concisely describes the key points of the original in fewer words than the original. The document also provides best practices for citing sources and avoiding common pitfalls with each type of evidence. Sample paragraphs are given as examples of how to properly integrate various types of evidence into an academic text.
[Robert_B._Cialdini]_Influence__The_Psychology_of_(z-lib.org).pdf
This document summarizes an experiment that demonstrates how easily humans can be influenced unconsciously. It begins by describing how a store owner unintentionally doubled the price of her turquoise jewelry by misreading her own handwriting, which led to the jewelry suddenly selling out. This story is used to introduce the concept of fixed action patterns in animals, where a single trigger activates a preprogrammed behavioral response. The document then describes an experiment where adding the word "because" to a request, even without providing a real reason, significantly increased the likelihood that people would comply by letting the requester copy ahead in line. Like animals responding to triggers, humans also have preprogrammed responses that can be unconsciously activated through subtle linguistic cues.
Audience theory
This document discusses three theories of audience: the effects model, uses and gratifications model, and reception theory. The effects model argues media has a direct influence on passive audiences. The uses and gratifications model argues audiences actively use media to fulfill needs. Reception theory examines how producers encode meaning differently than audiences decode it.

ESSAY #4—PERSUASION/ARGUMENT
Essay 4 is a persuasive essay. Your goal is to present a convincing argument on one of the prescribed topics by using outside sources to support your argument. You MUSTuse the movie, Crash, as your major source.
Genre/Medium: Persuasive/Argumentative Essay—Typed
Purpose:
Unlike an editorial, the persuasive essay is not merely your personal opinion about a topic, but an argument that provides scholarly evidence of research (i.e. various sources, interviews, quotes, and sufficient statistical data) to support your position. Because of the length and complexity of this project, it is essential that you choose a topic that you really care about, one that you truly want to learn more about, and one that you will be interested in writing about.
Format:
Your seven-to-nine paragraph essay must contain a concrete closed thesis statement at the end of the first paragraph. In addition to your introduction, three supporting paragraphs and conclusion, your essay will also contain a paragraph of opposition and a paragraph of refutation. You will use MLA documentation to write your paper and we will consult with each other about your topic before the final draft is written.
Audience:
This essay will target a scholarly audience. Therefore, your language and style should meet the intellectual needs of individuals who read on a collegiate level. As you think about your audience, write to pique the interest of your audience by considering what your readers already know and what they need to know.
Stance:
For this essay, it is imperative that you take a stance and present ideas that convey your stance throughout your essay. Never contradict your thesis.
Requirements:
Although your final requirement for this project is a completed essay, you will carry out the steps for writing a research paper by participating in four separate graded activities that lead up to your final essay. Before you submit your final essay you will complete the following:
1. The Research Proposal /Thesis Statement Defense (Unit Quiz #4)
2. An Annotated Bibliography (Unit Quiz #5)
3. A Peer Review
4. Final Essay
Getting Started
Before choosing your topic you should consider what you want to write about. Once you have chosen your topic, you should decide where you stand on the issue. Next, you want to develop your position with evidence—research—that will validate your point. You will need to use at least 3 sources of support for your essay. Finally, you will present your argument in a way that convinces the reader that your perspective is a valid one. Remember, this essay, like the others you have written, should have a specific, detailed, three-point thesis statement.
Dos and Don'ts
· Don’t deviate from the topic.
· Don’t debate the obvious; go beyond the surface.
· Don’t rely strictly on your feeling ...

The document provides examples and guidelines for incorporating high-quality claims and evidence into an argumentative paper.
English 2010 Intermediate Writing Persuasive Research Paper.docx
English 2010: Intermediate Writing
Persuasive Research Paper 100 points
Assignment description and rationale: In most of your college writing assignments, you will try to
persuade different audiences, including professors and classmates, that you understand a subject or that
your position on an issue is logical. As you prepare to graduate from college, you will write to persuade
specific audiences, including graduate studies administrators and prospective employers, that your
research interests are worthwhile or that you are qualified to work in your field. Because persuading a
target audience is a common purpose in college writing, the assignments for this course have focused on
helping you plan to write an effective argument.
To complete your research and write your argument, this assignment requires you to support the
persuasive claim in a 6- to 10- page persuasive research paper. You will also use ethos, pathos, and logos
to appeal to a target audience and follow MLA documentation guidelines to format your persuasive
research paper.
Assignment Requirements: Use the following guidelines to write and format your persuasive research
paper.
1. Support your persuasive claim with at least five reliable research sources. Your research
sources can include secondary sources (e.g., books, articles, Web sites, documentaries) or
primary sources (e.g., interviews, surveys). Although I do not specify the number of books, articles,
Web sites, etc. you must use to support your claim, I expect you to cite reliable secondary research
sources from both the Merrill-Cazier Library and the Web in your argument. I encourage but do not
require you to use primary research sources in your persuasive research paper.
Before you start quoting, paraphrasing, or summarizing information from your research sources in
your persuasive research paper, review guidelines for avoiding plagiarism. When I grade your
persuasive research paper, I will expect you to use signal phrases to introduce quotations (e.g.,
“Researchers at Dartmouth College assert. . .”) and to limit your use of long quotations.
2. Use ethos, pathos, and logos to appeal to a target audience.
Because establishing your credibility, creating emotional appeals, and identifying convincing
evidence for a specific audience will make writing your persuasive research paper easier than
trying to accommodate a general audience, you should target a prospective reader(s) you analyzed
in your research proposal.
To determine how to use ethos, pathos, and logos to persuade your target audience, consider
these questions:
a. To establish credibility, how can you describe your investment in your claim, address
alternative views, or mention the reliability of your research sources?
b. To create emotional appeals, how can you use a specific example, an analogy, or a
brief personal narrative?
c. To appeal to your audience’s sense of logic, how can you ma ...

Getting Started
No doubt there has been a time when you wanted something from your parents, your supervisor, or your friends, and you thought about how you were going to present your request. But do you think about how often people—including people you have never met and never will meet—want something from you? When you watch television, advertisements reach out for your attention, whether you watch them or not. When you use the Internet, pop-up advertisements often appear. Living in the United States, and many parts of the world, means that you have been surrounded, even inundated, by persuasive messages. Mass media in general and television in particular make a significant impact you will certainly recognize. Consider these facts:
· The average person sees between four hundred and six hundred ads per day—that is forty million to fifty million by the time he or she is sixty years old. One of every eleven commercials has a direct message about beauty.[1]
· By age eighteen, the average American teenager will have spent more time watching television—25,000 hours—than learning in a classroom.[2]
· An analysis of music videos found that nearly one-fourth of all MTV videos portray overt violence, with attractive role models being aggressors in more than 80 percent of the violent videos.[3]
· Forty percent of nine- and ten-year-old girls have tried to lose weight, according to an ongoing study funded by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. [4]
· A 1996 study found that the amount of time an adolescent watches soaps, movies, and music videos is associated with their degree of body dissatisfaction and desire to be thin. [5]
· Identification with television stars (for girls and boys), models (girls), or athletes (boys) positively correlated with body dissatisfaction. [6]
· At age thirteen, 53 percent of American girls are “unhappy with their bodies.” This grows to 78 percent by the time they reach seventeen. [7]
· By age eighteen, the average American teenager will witness on television 200,000 acts of violence, including 40,000 murders. [8]
Mass communication contains persuasive messages, often called propaganda, in narrative form, in stories and even in presidential speeches. When President Bush made his case for invading Iraq, his speeches incorporated many of the techniques we’ll cover in this chapter. Your local city council often involves dialogue, and persuasive speeches, to determine zoning issues, resource allocation, and even spending priorities.

Information containers and citing
This document discusses information containers and how they impact research. It defines an information container as anything that holds information, such as books, articles, blogs, emails and tweets. The type of container determines the depth and type of information it contains. For example, a tweet provides immediacy but little analysis, while an encyclopedia gives an overview but less detail. The container also dictates how the information within it is cited based on citation styles like APA, MLA and Chicago. Choosing the right container depends on the type of information needed. The document provides examples of containers for different research needs and describes scholarly versus non-scholarly sources.
