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.
