When we write for college courses, we write for an audience other than ourselves. And it’s an audience of more than one the professor who assigned the piece. A good way to think of (and never forget) audience is to imagine we are writing the assignment for a popular magazine that sits in multiple copies on the shelves of an equally popular bookstore. For each magazine sold, pretend, we get a percentage.
The goal, then, is to have as large and widespread a readership as possible to hook as many browsers as we can with an effective opener (also known as an introduction). We therefore must engage, first, before we entertain, educate, or inform.
