In class -- Considering Audience

1. Why will my readers care about this issue? 

There are two different ways I look at why I believe my readers might care about Cru. I'm sure Christians will care about Cru because it is an organizations that desires to spread the Gospel and is a place for students to have fellowship, learn more about Christ, and grow in the relationship with Him. I might be going out on a limb here by saying I think non-believers might care about Cru because Cru tries to promote morals from the Bible which could create a better environment for campuses.

2. What will my readers want or need to know about Cru? 
I believe that readers might want to know about rituals or behaviors of Cru, as I wrote in my Annotated Bibliography about prayer and worship. Readers might want to know why Cru desires to share the Gospel with not only their campus but the world. 

3. What do my readers already know about Cru?

I'm sure they obviously know it is about Christ, hence the name Campus Crusade for Christ.

4. What do I want my readers to learn about Cru?

I want my readers to know that anyone can be involved in Cru and why Cru desires to reach campuses and the world with the Gospel.

5. If I am trying to persuade my readers of something, how easily will they be persuaded?

Of course readers have their own experiences before reading my writings and may have preconceptions of Cru so those experiences and preconceptions will definitely play a role in persuasion. I think it will be extremely hard to "persuade" someone to join Cru, dispel their stereotype(s) of Cru, or even accept Christ as their personal Savior. 

6. What will my readers use my writings for?

Maybe a reader would use my writing for their research for a class or if they, personally, would like to know more about Cru.
