1. I want my readers and audience to be persuaded that there is in fact a need for a change in education, but Common Core is not the answer to this need. I want the readers to grieve the failed attempts with improving education, but they should feel hopeful to about new possibilities and alternatives in the near future, too. I want to raise awareness about these substitutes that are seldom discussed.

- raise awarenes
- agreement
- desire to promote change
- emotion
Not plausible reactions:
- become resentful towards Common Core
- enraged at the current state of our education
- bitterness towards government or educational organizations
3. Possible effects:
- raise awareness: be more informed about state of our education, clear up any fallacies regarding Common Core or education as a whole
- agreement: could tell other people their own opinions on the topic and echo mine, help to bring awareness
- desire to promote change: could influence their actions and thoughts towards education, could inspire them to vote a certain way or voice their opinion
- evoke emotions: could drive them react appropriately off those emotions, such as doing any of the things listed above
4. For my public argument, I want to involve the "every-day" people. I want to address the teachers, school district faculty, parents, education majors and students in my writing. It would be most effective to write to these specific groups of people because they are directly involved on the receiving end of the program. They see the effects of the standards first-hand, as they witness it in the classroom or close-by. I also think I would be able to relate and use my personal experience as a recent student and as an education major, which would help me build a common ground between the audience and I. With this specific audience in mind, my argument will be focused on addressing problems that incorporate and involve them.
