Discovering the Pieces of Writing

Writing is a powerful way to communicate ideas, share stories, and express thoughts. There are different types of writing, each with its own purpose and style. The main pieces of writing are:

  1. Narrative writing – Tells a story with characters, a setting, and events, often with a beginning, middle, and end.
  2. Descriptive writing – Paints a picture with words, using details and sensory language to describe people, places, or things.
  3. Expository writing – Explains or informs the reader about a topic in a clear and straightforward way.
  4. Persuasive writing – Tries to convince the reader to agree with the writer’s opinion or take specific action.

Understanding these types helps us to become better writers and readers.

Whenever it was time to write, I would always have a hard time finding things to say about the topics I chose. Reflecting on my first day of writing, I can say that our lecturer did an excellent job of outlining the proper stages of the writing process and encouraging me to take my time with each step.              One of the most important things I learnt on this journey is that every piece of writing needs proper structure and planning . Writers should use strategies, organizational patterns, or even graphic organizers in every writing piece because these tools shape HOW the writing develops. The “how” of writing refers to  - HOW a writer generates his/her ideas, -  HOW the writer develops their writing,  - HOW the wr...
