Discussion topic

in this unit, you have been exploring how authors

use informational texts to communicate with

audiences. you've also seen how authors

communicate their point of view, tone, and

purpose in a text

when a writer composes a text, that writer takes

time and thought to shape the text so the

elements work in harmony. that is, the point of

view, tone, and purpose all contribute to a unified

message. but what about more informal writing

and conversations? they usually aren't carefully

planned out like an essay. think of some

examples of informal writing or a conversation

you can recall well. describe how clearly they

express a unified point of view, tone, and

purpose. compare them to at least one formal

informational text. discuss why you think the two

modes of communicating are different or the

same.

I don't have any favorites. There is a reason for this, i don't read alot of books but when i do, i usually like a mashup of different types of text styles. I guess i do have a favorite of a mashup. When i do read i usually pick a book that has an argument between different characters, a type of fiction memior? And autobiography.

This mashup usually leads up to Wonder which is one of my all-time favorites. But there is another one i like and it is Diary of a Wimpy Kid. The only thing about that one is that doesn't have the whole autobiography part.

I like these styles because most of the books that i read have either funny traits or intense traits which, i love both of them.

quite an interesting way to teach topic sentences, because the answer to this question is the best definition of a topic sentence that one can present, it is as if answering the questions taught you how to do it, this is some real teaching, it is terribly well-done.

the topic sentence in this paragraph is:

topic sentences writers stay on track and keep a paragraph from becoming an aimless collection of sentences about an idea.

which incidentally tells you what a topic sentence should be.
