1 THE FOUR CATEGORIES OF WRITING

2 SELF-EXPRESSION ENTERTAINMENT PERSUASIVE INFORMATIVE
Putting your thoughts, feelings and experiences into words ENTERTAINMENT Writing meant to evoke emotion PERSUASIVE Writing intended to sell an idea, point of view, or product to the reader INFORMATIVE Writing meant to convey factual information

3 SELF-EXPRESSION Putting your thoughts, feelings and experiences into words Expressive writing is personal and emotional and has no regard for standard format and writing conventions like spelling, punctuation and verb agreement. It pays no attention to propriety: it simply expresses what is on your mind and in your heart. The expressive writer has no concern for a reader. The writer is writing for his or her self. EXAMPLE A Diary or Journal
