Audience-revision worksheet. Audience labels at top (PEER / ADMINISTRATOR). Before/after rows. Audience-aware rationale at bottom. Print-ready 8.5x11.

Answer criteria
type rubric
rubric
Before/after shown + tone shift visible + word-choice shift + audience-appropriate = 4; partial shift = 3; minimal change = 2; no awareness = 1
Hints
  1. Administrator: more formal, more evidence-heavy, less pathos.
  2. Peer: more direct, more pathos, similar logos.
Misconceptions to watch
  • Treats audience shift as cosmetic (just change a few words).
  • Loses claim strength when shifting to formal.
