After reading Heidi Estrem's “Writing is a Knowledge-Making Activity,” Andra Lunsford's “Writing Addresses, Invokes, and/or Creates Audiences” & Anzaldua's “How to Tame a Wild Tongue,” write in response to the following prompt.
How do you define "audience" and "knowledge," and how are these concepts important for writers? How do Lunsford and Estrem define these two terms, and what connections do they make between these terms and writing?
What do these definitions of knowledge and audience help you to understand about Anzaldua’s text? What does Anzaldua's text contribute to your understanding of audience and knowledge that you hadn’t considered before?
Finally, after reading these three texts, have your definitions of audience and knowledge changed? if so, how? if not, why not? Be prepared to discuss your answers in class and to draw our attention to passages from the texts that support what you’re saying, that confuse you, that are illuminating for you, etc.
