Key Term Map & Journal 1


Journal #1
Key terms: Individuality, Purpose, Audience, Voice, Syntax, Point of view.

        Writing is a mechanical skill and a form of composition. Writing is feelings and thoughts; it’s a way of expressing yourself and being articulate. It can be done anywhere at any time. It is how we communicate with other individuals. Writing contains different numbers, letters and symbols when it comes to interpretation of any kind. When writing anything, it’s best that you understand the differences between grammar, punctuation, spelling and format. These are some of the ways that will help improve your writing skills once you understand their differences. They can help your writing stand out in its own way once you master the idea of writing and knowing how to put words together. Writing gives you a sense of comprehension. It’s useful for notes or reminders simple ways to keep communication. Writing is language and language is what we use to speak. Writing allows you to engage and create your own sense of style and technique. It is a representation of who you are as an individual. It is a form of communication and being able to translate your thoughts on to paper as your own.

        I chose these words to define writing because to each is its own. Writing is something that comes from ones’ mind and it can’t be duplicated. I don’t think anyone can be told on how to express their self. Writing is being creative. These words all serve their own role in writing. I think that it’s important to find your voice in writing and to always have a sense of purpose when you write. Your voice in writing can make a difference. Individuality plays a huge role because you want to be original. Audience is one of the most important because you always want to make sure the reader understands your point of view and be able to relate where you’re coming from. Syntax is another way of writing that can help you relate to your audience more when it comes to written language. It gives the audience something to feed off of.

  1. I feel that my map could have been better. Like Lunsford was discussing, there are other ways to grasp your audience attention. In the near future, I plan to be more creative. More color, more design!
