Weblog post 2

In my report to my new boss, I used three concepts from the readings to help make my paper more effective. The first concept that I used was analyzing the audience. I knew that my audience was my new boss so I could address him with my report. This allowed me to make the report more personal and reflect my findings more specifically without having to please more than one audience. The second concept that I incorporated into my report was implementing the organization of information. The report was intended to be a print document so the best formatting for me to use in order to separate information was to chunk it into paragraphs. The spacing between paragraphs emphasized a change in topic and relativity making it easier on the reader to remain focused. The introduction brought the audience onto a common theme for the entire report. My final concept that has made my report more effective was anticipating the reader’s needs. I introduced the material, giving my boss a general idea of what the specifics of the report would consist of. This was followed with the main points of the report and brought together by a conclusion. My paragraphs began with general terminology and led into supporting details. Having my paragraphs follow this series of events keeps the readers needs met and interested in the whole document.
