Slide 1 - Tekstslide

Learning Objective

Structure 
In writing, structure is the order in which ideas are presented. Additionally, it includes the way ideas are linked together. The kinds of paragraphs and way you write paragraphs are extremely important!

Slide 6 - Tekstslide

Style
In academic writing, style generally refers to the formality or informality of the text. You must be consistent in your writing style and use appropriate language for the intended audience

Slide 7 - Tekstslide

Language
This refers mainly to the mechanics of the writing (proper grammar, spelling, punctuation, capitalization, etc) but also the correct use of vocabulary and English language norms.

Slide 8 - Tekstslide

Tone
This refers to the writer's voice/attitude: is the writer formal, casual, scared, happy, or mad? In creative writing, tone is much more varied than academic writing. Your tone should always be unbiased in academic writing. Arguing a point must be done in a professional manner with ideas supported by sources rather than personal opinions or feelings. Some assignments may call for a specific tone (an exception to the rule).

Written Communications Task
You will write a 500 word essay focusing on the latest social media trends & developments in the tourism industry. You can choose to write an explanatory or argumentative essay. We will mainly use class time to work on this but you may want to write/edit/proofread parts in advance in order to participate more effectively in each workshop. This task used as a writing tool to strengthen your writing skills only; it is not required.
