I can feel your excitement here, but think you might convey that with an exclamation point in lieu of all caps. All caps seems REALLY LOUD :)

big audience! may shape the tags you use to categorize posts as they accumulate. maybe some are more for some folks than others?
I am a double major in spanish and special education
This detail conveys your seriousness as a student and your marketability in a city full of bilingual folks.

This gives me a feel for the casual tone you're working to strike, but I'm wondering if given the initial clause about letting us in on a secret, you might end the sentence with a ... for drama instead and to fend off some of the more conservative audience members who might judge you for using emoticons as a teacher (I don't, but have their imaginary lenses on my shoulder as I read).
I will keep y'all posted while working with these kiddos.
I appreciate that you're speaking to me as an audience. This is also giving me a sense of how you will use this site right now (purpose), to check in and consider the road to your first position as you move through the st. ed's program.
She is the reason I want to work with students.
Sounds like a real inspiration. I wonder if you might quote her? I am also looking at this and wondering about balance. How can we fit you and your strengths back into this page before we leave it, as readers? Is there a way to bring us back to you through a moment mentioning the image or the metaphor it might illustrate, experience it conveys about you and who you are as an educator? (just brainstorming)
it is not art itself that people are turning from. People are turning away “from the traditional delivery mechanisms” (Cohen, 2013)
The next thing you learn is that the best way to succeed on a given platform is to write/film/record/aggregate with that platform explicitly in mind.
know your audience!
enormous audiences
this isn't always what is wanted though, as the greater the audience, the less expertise it has. some content commands a smaller, more focused audience.
. In exchange for audience, platforms ask for some degree of labor and conformity and control.
There are two essential building blocks to creating a success project: 1) selecting an audience; and 2) articulating clear outcomes.
RK&A explored the ways in which science festival visitors used the MM2GO exhibition and how the exhibition affected visitors’ ideas and attitudes about mathematics.
Only two conditions are to be insisted upon, that our hearer or companion should have an earnest desire to learn the truth, and should have capacity of mind to receive it in whatever form it may be communicated
This is a good change between meeting your audience at their level from earlier philosophers and now you gotta make sure they are up to your level.
capacity
How might the speaker know the what extent the audience can understand his words? Is the information itself, after a certain point, impossible for some to understand, or is it the method of presentation?
Would not he seem to be affected with something like madness? There would be no eloquence in the world if we were to speak only with one person at a time.
The fear of failure, moreover, and the expectation of praise for what we shall say gives a spur to our exertions, and it may seem strange that though the pen delights in seclusion and shrinks from the presence of a witness, extemporal oratory is excited by a crowd of listeners, as the soldier by the mustering of the standards.
Do we approach audiences different in writing and speaking? How do we distinguish and approach each?
But even if a declamation be composed merely for display, we ought surely to exert our voice in some degree to please the audience.
uneducated more effective than the educated when addressing popular audiences
"in oratory the very cardinal sin is to depart from the language of everyday life, and the usage approved by the sense of the community." - Cicero, De Oratore
The second is how to set these facts out in language.
with consideration to audience and purpose
For it is not enough to know what we ought to say; we must also say it as we ought; much help is thus afforded towards producing the right impression of a speech.
Style is concerned not with what but how (presentation). This aids our rapport with our audience
Chapter 7 (1408b) Appropriateness. An appropriate style will adapt itself to (1) the emotions of the hearers, (2) the character of the speaker, (3) the nature of the subject. Tact and judgement are needed in all varieties of oratory.
The orator must so speak as to make his hearers angry with his opponents.
persuasive speaking/rhetoric. being manipulative? using speech to make his audience hate his opponent?
it must adapt itself to an audience of untrained thinkers who cannot follow a long train of reasoning
Rhetoric falls into three divisions, determined by the three classes of listeners to speeches. For of the three elements in speech-making -- speaker, subject, and person addressed -- it is the last one, the hearer, that determines the speech's end and object. [1358b] The hearer must be either a judge, with a decision to make about things past or future, or an observer. A member of the assembly decides about future events, a juryman about past events: while those who merely decide on the orator's skill are observers. From this it follows that there are three divisions of oratory-(1) political, (2) forensic, and (3) the ceremonial oratory of display.

I like how he divides these categories into past, present, and futures.

Demonstrates the importance of audience
The duty of rhetoric is to deal with such matters as we deliberate upon without arts or systems to guide us, in the hearing of persons who cannot take in at a glance a complicated argument, or follow a long chain of reasoning.
Adapt material to audience
(1) make his own character look right and (2) put his hearers, who are to decide, into the right frame of mind. As to his own character; he should make his audience feel that he possesses prudence, virtue, and goodwill.
