Essay 3 Lecture 2 — Audience and “You” in Essay 3
Supplement Lecture Text:
Steps for using “YOU” in Essay 3:
1.) Determine the audience–who can actually implement your best solution?
2.) Once you’ve determined your audience, then you may consider using the word “you” to address them and call them to action.
3.) The first time you use “you” it must be as an address to the audience. For example, “you, the Wood County Sheriff’s Office.”
4.) From thereon you may use “you” alone, but I ask you occasionally state the audience again, so readers are reminded of whom exactly you are addressing.

Using you is good as long as the audience is known.
