All Types of Writings - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Accessed online through websites, apps or well-known social media platforms, blogs have become a
        particularly popular way of sharing experiences. They differ most specifically from printed diaries and are generally designed to be read by a specific audience, which may be restricted to friends or personal contacts of the writer, or to a wider readership (e.g. Barcelona fans or people who like the latest fashions).
        
        They are often vehicles for giving advice, or selling and promoting ideas or products
        3.They use interactive features – for example, hyperlinks to related content
        
        They often feature a greater degree of audio or sound – many blogs are predominantly image- or video driven
        
        They might utilise specialised or technical lexis or jargon, where closely targeted to a core interest (e.g. fashion, music or location).
  - - - Are usually written in the first person (some texts use the second or third person for deliberate effect)'
        
        May focus on key dates/facts related to the author’s life (e.g. circumstances of their birth or details
        about parents, siblings)
        
        Record significant moments or experiences (which have shaped the writer’s character or influenced the
        direction their lives took) – these might be anecdotes or more substantial formative moments
        
        Describe significant places or settings in the writer’s life
        
        Often reflect on people who have been important to the writer, or who have influenced their lives
        
        Are usually written in the past tense, but may include current reflections (e.g. ‘I was born in…’, ‘Now, I
        live in…’’).
  - - - 1.You should try to use chatty informal language.
        2.Start each entry with a date and "Dear Diary"
        3.Remember to use personal
        pronouns (in particular: I/We)
        4.Your diary should be in
        time order, using adverbials
        
        Try to include your thoughts, feelings, opinions and hopes
        (inside speech marks).
        
        A diary is about what has already happened.
        7.Remember to use more than one sense, to make your
        description more imaginable. Similes and metaphors can also
        be espective.
- - - - Tackle or explore ideas arising from newsworthy events or topical issues
        
        Share similarities with texts that argue or persuade, but may be more exploratory in nature
        
        Demonstrate understanding or show authority about the topic in question
        
        Provide explanatory background information for the ‘non-expert’ reader
        
        Present ideas in the present tense to explain the current situation, but may use the past to fill in
        contextual detail, or future or modal forms to anticipate future developments
        
        Are usually written in the first person, but may be less personal than ‘persuasive’ texts
    - - Provide an overview of the ‘key facts’ of the experience (e.g. prices, who played what part, the
        performers in a concert, or the name of the restaurant).
        
        Convey the writer’s expertise or knowledge of the field (e.g. theatre, film, food, music).
        
        Express an opinion about the experience or material through the use of language, form and structure
        (positive and negative adjectives, vivid imagery).
        4.Make comparisons (good or bad) with related texts or performances, sometimes using exaggerated or
        humorous ideas.
        5.Adopt informal, chatty language designed to engage with the reader.
