The cereal name is honey nut cheerios
Just as breakfast is often considered the most important meal of the day, audience analysis is one of the most important parts of any communication. Unfortunately, much like breakfast, conducting audience analysis is a step that many people often skip. As Michael and Suzanne Osborn note, “The more you know about your audience and speaking situation, the more effective your communication will be” (105).
For this posting, you have been divided into four groups. Each group will analyze a different cereal by profiling the different audiences that are targeted. First, you will need to conduct a demographic audience analysis of the type of person you believe would purchase the specific cereal that you have been assigned. Use the cereal boxes as clues to reveal typical purchasers’ age range, gender, economic background, social status, group membership, etc. Then use the boxes to analyze possible interests and personality traits of the cereal purchasers. Be creative and imaginative, but provide the evidence that led you to make certain conclusions regarding the purchasers.
Tip: Make sure that you organize this post effectively. If you have two-three main audiences, consider covering each audience in a separate paragraph. Similarly, you might make your claims about what audiences the box is targeting in one paragraph and then hone in on their interests, personality traits, etc. in a second paragraph. The key is to avoid trying to do too much in one overly long paragraph that lacks coherence. Use body paragraphs to organize your thoughts and guide a reader through your arguments.
Tip 2: Make sure that you clearly identify when instances of ethos, pathos, and/or logos are used and to what ends they are being employed (what audience(s) will they resonate with, etc.).
Each person will then present your findings in a 250 word discussion posting that describes the cereal box and explains the audience profile you have generated.
Important: To earn a B, you need to discuss each type of rhetorical appeal (ethos, pathos, and logos) in your initial post. If you don’t believe that a type of appeal is being deployed, you should say so and speculate about why it is absent and whether or not it is a flaw in the box’s design.

read Kyle Stedman’s “Annoying Ways People Use Sources
(https://writingspaces.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Annoying-Ways.pdf) . Stedman’s article is a good example of an academic article written in a more popular, “middle style”—while the style is more relaxed than some academic pieces you may have read, it still explores a lot of ideas, so you should take notes or annotate as you read.
Once you’ve finished reading the article and watched the video, make a response that demonstrates the depth of your thinking and reading. Aim for about paragraphs
Many of the “annoying ways” of using sources that Stedman describes are things that many writers use without realizing they might cause problems for their readers—writers may even think they’re supposed to do them! Were you surprised by any of the “annoying ways” Stedham mentions? Are there any that, after reading the article, you realize you might have used in previous writing? Which ones do you think are most common, and why?
The problem with many of these “annoying ways” of using sources is not so much that they are wrong (they may follow correct citation format and be grammatically correct); instead, the problem is that they can cause readers trouble, by making the writing harder to understand. What are some reasons that the approaches Stedhman describes might make it hard for a reader to understand what the writer is trying to communicate?
The solution to the problems Stedham identifies is clearer, smoother integration of information from sources.
Stedham also offers some solutions—what are some you might try in your writing?
