Audience Awareness Practice

In this worksheet, students explore how language and explanations change depending on the audience’s age and background knowledge. Learners choose a topic of interest and ask ChatGPT to explain it as if speaking to a 10-, 15-, and 20-year-old. They then summarize and compare how vocabulary, tone, and detail shift in each explanation. This exercise helps students develop audience awareness, communication adaptability, and summarizing skills. It also supports growth in analytical thinking as learners evaluate how complexity and clarity change across audiences.
