What I hope to teach my audience is what COVID-19, Ā and seasonal influenza have in common, and how they are different. The audience that I am trying to reach are people that think that COVID-19 is ājust the fluā, and that we donāt need to take it very seriously. IāmĀ thinking about writing a magazine-style article about my project. I am going toĀ read articles from magazines like the Times, and take technique notes about the articles.
The quote from my unit 2 research that inspired me the most was ācontrolling an outbreak has everything to do with mitigating casualties such as economic losses, joblessness, loneliness, and even loss of human dignity at the end of life.ā (Petersen, Eskild, source 1) Ā This quote inspires me because it pretty much tells the reader why we need to take the COVID-19 pandemic more seriously than seasonal influenza. We need to do whatever we can to control this outbreak, keep casualties as low as possible, and get everything back to normal as soon as possible.

1. what genre is your partner going to explore in unit 3?
my partner is going to be doing a magazine-style article .
2. who is the audience being targeted?
the audience that is being targeted is the once who thing that corona is a flu. but the one that take corona really seriously is the one who should be the one who pays more attention to the things that are being said. not everyone really cares about it but the virus but the one who is take it serious need to stand out and talk more about it so everyone can be more cautious about it.
3. what message is your partner trying to convey?
my partner is trying to say that corona is not the flu. that everyone all around the world should take it serious due to the fact that lots of people have died because of corona but people don’t really care. people who think that corona may be a flu it is very bad and may end up deadly so be very carful.
4.respond to the quotation that your partner highlighted?
I really like this quote because it shows everyone that corona has taken lots of things away from people. if everyone has the respect to follow the rules than i feel like the united states would’ve have opened back up regularly. but since people don’t really care like that they still do the things that are bad for them and may harm others around them. so i feel like this quote should be posted out so that everyone around the world can be able to see them and know that people lives are being changed due to this virus.
Richard, this is an relevant and important topic. Your partner gave you good reflections! An article seems like a good fit for a genre to explore. You might think about which magazine you want to target. You mention the New York Times or the New York Times magazine, which is a great start. Do you think you would write something for their Health section or, since you are considering writing about misperceptions of COVID, you could also write something for one of their advice columns. Let me know if you have further questions.
