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.
