A letter will be my genre for the unit 3 assignment, my main target audience are the people in charge of the congress, people who can change laws who can change peoples mind. I want my letter to be published in CNN news, their website is big with lots of audience people are most likely to see it. My point of view will mostly be focusing on persuading the people in charge to alter and make laws on racism so it won’t affect people of color anymore and their lives. I would like to start off by researching how to write persuasive letters, how to format my letter, and put it on the website.

Publication Questions/ Unit 3 Schedule
Part 1. On the @hazingprevention page, they have pictures about the actions people should take in order to prevent hazing. During national hazing prevention week, they consistently posted about taking a pledge to prevent hazing and to participate in their free programs to raise awareness of hazing. In these pictures they have young people take the pledge. That tells me, they think their audience is young people in college or people that want to pledge into a fraternity/sorority. On the page, their pictures usually have a message and they go into more details in the description. They also encourage people to join live webinars where important advocates talk more in depth about hazing and their experiences. The page consists of the colors purple and white. The tone is usually educative and serious. The diction usually used is formal. I think this would be a good publication to reach my intended audience because my intended audience is mostly on this social media platform and I feel like this publication is directly speaking to them. They also have powerful messages on their pictures which I think catch my intended audience’s attention.

Part 2
I’m thinking of writing a letter to the people in charge, the congress since they have the power to change laws. I want to gather lots of information, and sources to back up my letter, I want to have videos also as evidence. I want to practice writing in 3rd person, I also want the letter to be very persuasive so the people of the congress can really make a change.
