Change output for different readers


Learning goal

  • Create persona cards and adapt one text to two personas.
  • Check for clarity and relevance per audience.

Why it matters

  • Persona-aware writing improves adoption.
  • Wrong tone/detail loses readers.

Explanation

  • Define persona: role, goals, pain points, preferred style.
  • Prompt: “Rewrite for persona X; keep facts; adjust tone/detail.”
  • Ask for a short checklist: “Does this address goals/pains?”

Examples

  • Good: Exec brief vs. frontline guide; facts intact, tone differs.
  • Poor: Same text for all.

  • Guided exercise (10–15 min)

    1. Create 2 persona cards.
    2. Rewrite one draft for each persona; keep facts; change tone/detail.

    Independent exercise (5–10 min)

    Ask AI to list 2 gaps for each persona and fix them.


    Self-check

    • Persona cards defined.
    • Two rewrites completed.
    • Facts preserved; tone/detail adapted.
