LIT102- Week1- 26th-30th October 2020 Blog by Tatyana Browne

November 03rd 2020

During this weeks LIT sessions we were given the task in groups of creating PowerPoint presentation on the five different genres of writing. The genres were persuasive writing, narrative writing, descriptive writing, expository writing and poetry writing. 

These presentations delivered during this weeks presentations were very informative as I learned and gained so much information. Each genre of writing are unique and different in their own way. My group which consisted of Robvecia Hazel and I, were assigned the genre of persuasive writing. Upon researching, I came across many interesting facts. for instance, I never really understood that persuasive writing requires solid arguments and facts to back up your opinion. We also focused on the definition and the elements of persuasive writing such as; the characteristics, the organization, the types and how it is assessed. It was very interesting. 

What I particularly liked and was very excited to learn more about was the genre of narrative writing. Since being introduced to this genre of writing in my primary and secondary journey, I have always seemed to gravitate to that particular aspect of writing. I love reading stories and as a result I was looking forward and ready for that presentation. 

The genre that did not really peak my interest was the Expository writing. This type of writing requires the explanation of how something is done or works. I am not an eager fan of explanations in real life and this somewhat contributed to my point of view of the presentation delivered. Despite of that, I really enjoyed the presentations.

    Quite an informative peace. The genres of writing serves as such an important part of the language syllabus. So being well informed about them helps with the relaying and teaching of these genres.

    Thank you for sharing this piece. It also speaks to me in some aspects however I am the opposite of you for expository and narrative writing. Personally, expository seems easier as it is just a regurgitation of knowledge.

    I agree that the genres of writing are interesting. The genres of writing was interesting because many of these genres are not taught how they are supposed to be taught. The information shared through PowerPoint were informative and engaging as we discussed. The information would help to bring about more awareness when teaching any of the genres

    A very informative post. Knowledge of the genres of writing is critical for the teacher as it helps with the execution of writing in the classroom.

    I love reading stories as well and recently learned more about narrative writing. I’m even more excited to read and write my own stories now.

This week’s sessions were focused on the Genres of Writing; Narrative Writing and Expository Writing. They were very interesting and formative. On our first class dated Wednesday 28th October 2020, Leonest, Azuree, and Shaniqua presented on Narrative Writing' as a genre of writing. I learned that narrative writing is also known as story writing. It can be non-fiction and imaginary. The presenters explained the different elements of story writing. These include; a. The plot (the sequence of events that occur in a story from the beginning to middle to the ending) The plat was also broken down into parts that include the rising action (events leading up to the conflict), climax (the highest point of action, keeps the reader wanting more), falling action (solving of the conflict/problem) and resolution (the end).
