Collaborative Writing on Writing

What is Writing?
·       Expressing your opinion.
·       A form of communication.
·       Can be debatable.
·       Answers questions.

What kind of writing do we do?
·       Write about ourselves, and academic writings.
·       Recording facts, or notes.
·       Different genres such as fantasy, fiction, and nonfiction; specific formats such as poetry or stories, applications or essays.

How does your persona (tone, level of formality, etc.) shift depending on your audience?
Why?
·       Your persona is more relaxed in comfortable situations such as a letter to your parents, you allow more of your personality and a wider range of tone to show.  However when you are applying for a scholarship you use a more formal tone and only allow the most appropriate side of your personality to show.  Fictional writing is more influenced by the author’s personality whereas nonfiction is more factual.
·       You shift tones depending on the impression you wish to make, so they will perceive you in the most appropriate fashion, with sufficient clarity and suitable humor to drive home the point.
