    INTRODUCTIO
    N
    No matter if you are writing a book report, a movie review, a newspaper article, a
    journal entry or even just your daily to-do list, you are writing for a specific purpose.
    That purpose determines the type of writing. All forms of writing can be categorized
    into four different types.

    PERSUASIVE EXPOSITORY narrative DESCRIPTIVE

    In the remainder of this presentation, you will learn about the specifics of each type,
    including each type’s purpose, key features, common forms and examples and
    techniques. You will also read example prompts for each type.
    WHAT IS PERSUASIVE
    WRITING?
    The purpose of persuasive writing is to
    • convince the reader to agree with the writer’s opinion
    • influence the reader’s point of view of a topic
    • motivate the reader to take action

    Persuasive writing uses logic, reasoning, and convincing evidence as the basis of the writing.
    Persuasive writing is sometimes known as argumentative writing. Persuasive writing can be
    inspiring, motivating and controversial. Common examples include:

    ADVERTISEMENTS SPEECHES REVIEWS EDITORIALS


    PERSUASIVE WRITING BASICS
    KEY FEATURES
    • Clearly stated opinion, point of view or claim
    • Strong reasoning that is logical, convincing and relevant
    • Evidence that is well-researched and specific (facts, examples, statistics, quotes, etc.)

    TIPS & TECHNIQUES


    • Use a counterargument to further promote your claim
    • Use word choice to build a relationship with the reader
    • Use repetition to reinforce your point of view
    • Ask questions that get your reader thinking critically
    EXAMPLE PERSUASIVE
    PROMPTS
    Should animals be kept in zoos? Write an essay that states your opinion of animals
    living in captivity. What reasons and evidence support your opinion?

    What is your point of view toward the existence of aliens? Why do you think this
    way? What facts, statistics, or evidence supports your point of view?

    If you could enact change about one thing in the world, what would it be and why?
    What supporting information can you find to make your argument strong and
    convincing?
    WHAT IS EXPOSITORY
    WRITING?
    The purpose of expository writing is to
    • inform readers of a topic
    • explain ideas and concepts
    • teach procedures and steps

    Like its name suggests, expository writing exposes factual information. It calls for the writer to
    research, investigate and evaluate information on a topic. Expository writing is also objective; it
    does not include the writer’s personal opinion or point of view. Common examples include:

    ARTICLES/
    TEXTBOOKS NEWS REPORTS INSTRUCTIONS
    ESSAYS
    EXPOSITORY WRITING BASICS
    KEY FEATURES
    • Facts, details and other examples from reliable sources
    • Unbiased explanations and information related to the topic
    • Text features that enhance the information (images, charts, captions, etc.)

    TIPS & TECHNIQUES


    • Research your topic thoroughly before you begin writing
    • Consider the structure when organizing your information
    • Remain objective in your explanations
    • Begin with a strong thesis statement
    EXAMPLE EXPOSITORY
    PROMPTS
    Explain the benefits of eating healthy and staying hydrated. Include facts, statistics
    and relevant research in your writing.

    Compare and contrast two of your favorite movies. Do these movies share
    similarities in their characters, settings or themes? What differences stand out to you
    the most?

    Create an instructional guide for how to be successful on a test. What steps should
    the reader take to achieve success?
    WHAT IS NARRATIVE
    WRITING?
    The purpose of narrative writing is to
    • entertain the reader
    • tell stories—realistic or imaginary
    • spark emotion and creativity

    Narrative writing is, essentially, storytelling. Storytelling comes in many forms. Whether you
    are recounting factual or fictional events, narratives tell a story with emotion, descriptive details
    and clear event sequences. Common examples include:

    SHORT STORIES SCREENPLAYS DRAMAS/PLAYS NOVELS


    NARRATIVE WRITING BASICS
    KEY FEATURES
    • Literary elements such as characters, setting, problem, solution and theme
    • Clear event sequences that build on one another
    • Dialogue and descriptive details

    TIPS & TECHNIQUES


    • Use sensory language to bring the story to life
    • Structure the plot carefully (foreshadowing, flashbacks, etc.)
    • Introduce the story in a way that hooks your reader
    • Consider how point of view influences the plot
    EXAMPLE NARRATIVE
    PROMPTS
    Write a personal narrative that retells the events of the first day of school. Include
    dialogue and descriptions within the plot of your narrative.

    Retell your favorite fairytale from the villain’s point of view. Include clear event
    sequences and sensory language within the plot of your retelling.

    Write a story that describes what daily life was like for women in ancient Egypt.
    Include characters, events and dialogue in your story.
    WHAT IS DESCRIPTIVE
    WRITING?
    The purpose of descriptive writing is to
    • describe a person, place, thing, or idea
    • create a strong visual through vivid descriptions
    • evoke emotions through word choice

    Descriptive writing focuses on the details of people, ideas, concepts, characters, events, and
    other topics. While it does share some qualities with expository and narrative writing, the goal
    of descriptive writing is to appeal to the senses and bring the writing to life. Common examples
    include:

    POEMS DIARY ENTRIES OBSERVATIONS LYRICS


    DESCRIPTIVE WRITING BASICS
    KEY FEATURES
    • Detailed descriptions of people, events, characters, ideas or places
    • Precise language and word choice
    • Nonliteral language

    TIPS & TECHNIQUES


    • Appeal to the senses (see, hear, taste, touch, smell)
    • Use figurative language such as similes, metaphors and personification
    • Use strong verbs and vivid adjectives
    • Write in a way that shows instead of tells
    EXAMPLE DESCRIPTIVE
    PROMPTS
    Describe a time when you felt most confident. What made you feel this way?

    Describe your favorite childhood memory. What makes this memory stand out to
    you?

    Describe the first time you did something. How did you feel during this experience?
