My target audience for my Unit 3 project will be college students. College student can be good negotiators and influencers among their peers, in their homes and communities. They are articulate and once passionate about their views and opinions they can encourage their families and friends to adopt new behaviors thereby reaching a bigger demographic of people.

I would like to teach my audience to be much more sensitive about our environment, how we can make an impactful change by changing our day-to-day choices i.e. going greener. Also, I would like to shred light to some of my research of how flooding in affecting NYC, the city we all live in, to the college students.

The best genre I would like to use is a research paper mainly because I believe it will satisfy the need for evidence to be the deciding factor why college students, their families and friends should adopt new habits and consciously ‘go green’ to prolong the life of our planet.

To get started I would like to arrange all my main topics and summarize the information so the research paper will be informative but direct but still being interesting at the same time.

My concern about this project is finishing on time, how make a research paper appealing to my audience and what sort of imagery I could incorporate.
