Concept List
- Audience: Audience is an important factor to consider when writing, because an author needs to be able to reach out and successfully share ideas with their audience. The audience’s interpretation of an author’s work can greatly affect how it is received.
- Perspective: Perspective matters because it can change the interpretation of any written work. Writing something from a first person perspective as opposed to third person will change the way that it is understood.
- Narrative: A narrative allows a reader to understand a key concept throughout a series of connected events.
- Peer Reviewing: Peer reviewing allows an author to get outside criticism from others. By seeing things from a different point of view, an author is able to improve their own work.
- Genre: Learning about different genres can expose an author to new options for writing and can help one prepare for any future career-related writing.
- Webtext: Informal writing. Available on blogs and websites. Use of pictures, videos, and weblinks. Can be shared on social media. It is quick and easy for readers to view online, making it a convenient source of information.
- Academic Writing: Formal writing that is written in a specific format. Works are cited in a formal manner and more detail is given than in a webtext. This form of writing is used by many students or authors who wish to present a detailed and well put together idea.
- Synthesis: Combine many ideas or sources to present a whole idea. Synthesis is useful to put together many concepts and gain a greater understanding of the basis of the concepts used.
