Assignment: Audience Analysis for Persuasive Essay

Some audience analysis surveys look at demographic and ask about age, gender, culture, ethnicity, race, religion, and education level.  That is not what we are doing.  Do not ask any questions about income, age, or gender for this assignment.

To help you prepare for your persuasive speech, you will do an attitudinal analysis.  An attitudinal analysis studies the audience’s attitudes, beliefs, and values.
