CP11The Three Little “Modes of Writing” EXPOSITORY EXPRESSIVE PERSUASIVE
Expressive Writing (to express) • “Expressive writing is personal writing. It expresses and explores the personal feelings of the writer. The piece may attempt to answer a question, state an opinion or recount the writer’s personal experiences. Many times, expressive writing does all of these.”
Types/Forms of Expressive Writing • Narrative • Journal • Memoir • Autobiography
Expository Writing (to expose) • Expository writing gives information, explains, clarifies, or defines something. Critical support and key facts demonstrate the writers understanding of the topic.
Types/Forms of Expository Writing • Expository/Explanatory essay • Argumentative • Analytical • Compare/Contrast essay • How-to essay • News Article • Interview • Informative • Research
Persuasive Writing (to persuade) • Persuasive writing takes a stand on a debatable topic. Unlike its brother, expository writing, expressive writing does much more than simply explain a topic. Persuasive writing explains a topic AND it persuades the reader to take a specific stand in regards to the topic. This type of writing uses logical evidence, plays off of the readers emotions and morals/beliefs in order to prove its point.
Types/Forms of Persuasive Writing • Position Paper • Speech • Advertisement • Editorial • Letter • Recommendation http://www.archive.org/download/MLKDream/MLKDream_64kb.mp3
Organizational Structures: • Think of organizational structures as the “bones” or framework of your writing. Without it your writing would not be able to “stand” on its own. • There are numerous organizational structures and each structure is designed to be utilized within different modes of writing (based upon the purpose of the writing).
Types of Organizational Structures: • Narration • Description • Process • Cause and Effect • Classification and Division • Definition • Comparison and Contrast • Argumentative • Problem/Solution • Exemplification
