...WRITING PROCESS KINDS OF WRITING/DISCOURSE TYPES: THE BASIC PURPOSES OF WRITING ARE TO INFORM, TO PERSUADE, AND TO ENTERTAIN. Prose is ordinary written/spoken language without poetic structure. Prose that informs is called exposition/expository writing. Expository writing explains how things work, ideas, how to solve a problem, facts about everyday life, history, controversial issues. Expository writing is constructed LOGICALLY – organized around structures like cause and effect, true and false, less and more, positive and negative, general and specific, sequences or series of steps/procedures, chronology, etc. Ideas in exposition are moved along by connectives like therefore, however, but, in fact, and, for example. An example of expository writing is the information report – facts about a subject with descriptions, definitions and classifications, e.g. scientific reports or business reports with diagrams, technical language or jargon (words/expressions specific to a particular profession). Certain descriptive and narrative writing can also fall under the category of writing that informs. Descriptions of the details of experiences, people, places, situations, processes should be arranged into a meaningful pattern, and narration should give an account of related events/incidents as in a report and in a logical sequence. Prose that persuades is often called argumentative writing. The writer takes a stand, proving an opinion/argument with supporting ideas. The purpose...

...Facility Planning & Destination Development Periodic Assessment Academic Year 2012-2013 Task Attempt to argue the following statement. Tourism planning is essentially nothing more than deciding what to build and where. Discuss. Guidelines The somewhat cynical statement outlined above needs to be argued. This can be done from a variety of different viewpoints. You could argue that it is true. Clearly these are two key responsibilities of the tourism planner. Alternatively it is possible to say it seriously underestimates the work of the planner in the C21st. The key here is to take a stance or viewpoint and stick with it. It will be your ability to generate to produce a simple, coherent and literate line of reasoning that will generate marks here. Telling the reader everything you know about planning is not appropriate or relevant. Try to also illustrate your argument with reference to case study materials. Your assessment should be written in essay format and should not exceed 2,000 words in length excluding your bibliography and any necessary appendix material. Please resist from presenting your findings as a series of bullet points or notes. Essays are normally expected to be written in prose. At this level they should also be properly referenced. If you are unsure what is required, pick up the necessary student support materials on essay writing from the INSTIL office (TC centre 4th floor). Assessment weighting This assessment will...

...RESPONSE MUST FOCUS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF STRONG INSIGHTFUL IDEAS STEMMING FROM A THESIS. 1) It can be written in any prose format. 2) The response must be an insightful exploration of the ideas developed in your own head through the process of living and experiencing life. The text of a writer has inspired personal reflection in a certain direction. You should identify the idea(s) in the text as you explore or relate to them. 3) The ideas will revolve around exploring relationships between concepts. 4) The personal response is far more than just a partial or complete telling of your life’s story. 5) Any relating of events in your life should be done solely for the purpose of supporting and explaining the ideas. In other words, build your response around ideas rather than events. 6) Support of these ideas may come from the text of a writer that inspired reflection, world history, personal history or invented scenarios. 7) Ideas can be implicitly stated. In doing so, figurative language can be a powerful and beneficial tool. 8) Support can also be implicit in nature by alluding to text or events. 9) The ideas and the support should not become cryptic. This is best avoided through planning before writing. | THIS RESPONSE MUST FOCUS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF STRONG INSIGHTFUL IDEAS STEMMING FROM A THESIS. 1) It should be written in essay format. 2) The response must be an insightful exploration of the ideas developed by a writer through the telling of their...

...and college graduates to both, male and female older adults of all persuasions. The content of my writings are geared towards individuals who are further advanced in life than others who haven’t experienced working to support a family, being responsible for one’s family’s expenses, or career specific employment. I have chosen written assignments 2, 3 and 4 as the essays I want entered into my writing portfolio. I chose these essays because they stem from my life’s experiences, and are all addressed to my core audience. They utilize the expressive aim of writing, and for the most part, have similar deficiencies. My writings need stronger sentence structure at times, in addition to, crafting more concise conclusions. When I frame my conclusions, I need to sum things up with less verbiage and more content. I have to learn to touch the major points of my writings without introducing new information into my conclusions. As I reviewed my essays, I recognized where I kept repeating the same mistakes, and furthermore, made efforts to not double speak when crafting my thoughts. All of the improvements I made to the essays give them more flow, while not...

...glish literature How to Write an A* GCSE English Literature Poetry Response Copyright © 2008 www.englishteaching.co.uk + www.english-teaching.co.uk How to Write an A* GCSE English Literature Poetry Response 2 The Poetry Component of the GCSE Literature Paper The poetry task is the second question on the GCSE English Literature exam paper. It is perhaps the more demanding of the tasks on the paper, because unlike the question on the prose, in this section you are being asked to compare four poems simultaneously throughout your answer. In the exam you should spend one hour on this section of the paper. Given the greater demand of the task, your response to the poetry is worth more marks than the response to the prose. In order to perform at the highest level on this paper, it is important that you develop a nuanced and sophisticated comparative written style. However, this is achievable if you adopt a systematic approach to ordering and writing your responses. It does, however, demand considerable practice prior to the final examination. What is the Examiner looking for in a response to the Poetry? The exam is designed to test your ability to do the following things: Can you respond to the poems critically, in detail, and sensitively using textual evidence? Can Can you explore language, structure and form contribute to the meaning of texts? Can Can you compare the ways that ideas, themes and relationships are presented in the poems by...

...Essay writing (Assignment writing) Examples from Deakin University (Some editing – WHJ – April 2013) What makes a good essay? These are the views of one lecturer on good essays. “Follow these relatively simple rules and a student will produce a good essay” The student does the following: * Answers the question set by the lecturer. * Develops the argument logically, so that one point follows from another coherently. The essay should hold together and be consistent. * Indicates the evidence on which the argument and individual points are based and acknowledge the sources of information. Paraphrase and summarise the writers mentioned – do not just use direct quotes. * Keeps to the word limits and other directions set by the lecturer and is as concise as possible. * Avoids irrelevant or extraneous information that detracts from the main argument. * Uses words that he/she understands and is comfortable with. Some students will have a better command of language and a wider vocabulary than others. However, the important thing is to get the message across clearly * Is sure to edit the work for spelling and typographical mistakes before handing it in. Sloppy work detracts from what might otherwise be a good essay. To summarise, a good essay will: a) develop a logical argument b) be coherent, consistent and concise c) provide evidence d) acknowledge sources e) conform to directions f) use clear language. The...
