If your audience is not your teacher, classmate or examiner , you need to ask these questions;
AUDIENCE
What is the purpose of writing?
Who is my audience?
How old are they?
Formal or informal?
What are their interests?
Are they men, childr
en or women?

Exercise: A) In which of these extracts is the wrong form and
why? ( Activity #2 )
B)For each of the following, indicate the form and the likely audience. ( Activity #3 )
Read the situations and then decide what form of writing you will use. ( Activity #4 )
![Page 7: Power point the who, how of writing sec 2](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052602/559b29551a28ab5f2c8b45e9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
STYLE Your writing style will depend very much upon who
your audience is:
when you are writing to a friend , you should use an informal style.
When your audience is someone in authority – a teacher, for instance- you should use a more formal style.
![Page 8: Power point the who, how of writing sec 2](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052602/559b29551a28ab5f2c8b45e9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The form of writing which you use will also affect your style;
describing how to use something (for example, a video camera) will need a very clear yet technical style. The language should be carefully chosen to help a person do something.
A ghost story , oh the other hand, will need a style that builds up tension, helping the reader picture the scene vividly in his or her mind.
![Page 9: Power point the who, how of writing sec 2](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052602/559b29551a28ab5f2c8b45e9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
When arguing for or against a subject ( for example, using animals in scientific experiments), you will need carefully constructed arguments to try to persuade your reader that your ideas are right ( and probably showing why the opposing ideas are wrong )
Giving someone information about a place will need a clear, factual style with some description and a careful choice of details.

PURPOSE PURPOSE IS CLOSELY RELATED TO AUDIENCE
AND FORM
IT MEANS UNDERSTANDING THE REASON(S) WHY YOU ARE WRITING
Whenever you write , remember why you are doing so, what are the results that you want.
![Page 11: Power point the who, how of writing sec 2](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052602/559b29551a28ab5f2c8b45e9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
REMEMBER:
Your purpose can be obviously important, like getting a job
It may be a public statement with the hope of attracting attention and getting a good response from people
Getting good marks in class or in an examination is also a purpose and also the enjoyment and satisfaction that can come from writing may also be important to you.

1) GETTING IDEASBrainstorming
Clustering
Asking WH- questions
Making Lists
![Page 16: Power point the who, how of writing sec 2](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052602/559b29551a28ab5f2c8b45e9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
2) BRAINSTORMING It enables you to work very freely
Helps you overcome the fear that you do not know anything about a subject
It triggers association in the mind
Throws up a lot of useful material, but also encourages you to cut down when certain ideas are not useful in this way you learn the important skill of selecting ( pass examples of brainstorming )
Activity #8: Brainstorming
![Page 17: Power point the who, how of writing sec 2](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052602/559b29551a28ab5f2c8b45e9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
3) CLUSTERING It is more structured than brainstorming
You can often use clustering as a second step in getting ideas, helping them become more focused. It helps you develop your ideas about a subject very clearly.
It is a great way to help you get rid of “writer’s block”, that horrible state where you simply cannot think of anything to write. ( distribute examples of clustering )
Activity # 9 ( Clustering )
![Page 18: Power point the who, how of writing sec 2](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052602/559b29551a28ab5f2c8b45e9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
4) WH - Questions When you are writing a narrative essay, WH –
questions are a great way to get your story clear in mind.
They help you remember the main points and stop you from losing track of what your story is all about
Every news report, short story or novel is basically asking these same five WH questions
![Page 19: Power point the who, how of writing sec 2](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052602/559b29551a28ab5f2c8b45e9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
What is it about?
Who is it about?
Where did it take place?
Why did things turn out as they did?
When did it take place?
a short story , novel or news
report

5) MAKING LISTSMaking lists under particular headings is very
useful way to organise your thoughts
Lists are really helpful when you have to look at the good and bad sides of a subject, such as doing co –curricular activities or having to sit for many examinations
List help you see both sides of an argument and enable your writing to be more balanced.
Activity #10
