Your team has been studying a new method for testing the durability of your company's power tools. Now the team needs to prepare three separate reports on the findings: first, a report for the administrator who will decide whether to purchase the equipment needed for this new testing method; second, a report for the company's engineers who design and develop the hand tools; and third, a report for the trainers who will be showing workers how to use the new equipment. To determine the audience's needs for each of these reports, the team has listed the following questions:
(l) Who are the readers? (2) Why will they read my report?
(3) Do they need introductory or background material?
(4) Do they need definitions of terms? (5) What level or type of language is needed? (6) What level of detail is needed?
(7) What result does my report aim for? Working with two other students, answer the questions for each of these audiences and summarize your analysis in a brief report:
a. The administrator
b. The engineers
c. The trainers
