Journalistic Writing vs. "English Class" writingjhiggins11
Journalistic writing and "English class" writing have similarities but also key differences. [1] They have different audiences and purposes - journalistic writing aims to inform or persuade a broad public, while essays typically have a single teacher as the audience. [2] Organization also differs, with news stories following an inverted pyramid structure and essays traditionally being five paragraphs. [3] Journalistic writing relies more on primary sources and interviews, while essays typically use references from prior readings.
This document provides an overview of key aspects of journalistic writing, including:
1. The differences between news and features - news prioritizes the most important facts while features tell true stories using narrative techniques.
2. Guidelines for writing news stories, including using the inverted pyramid structure and focusing on accuracy, balance, objectivity, conciseness and timeliness.
3. Best practices for conducting interviews, such as preparing open-ended questions, listening carefully and following up to get more details and clarity.
The document provides guidance on writing concise summaries in journalism. It discusses avoiding verbose language and using concrete details. Journalists are advised to show events through vivid descriptions rather than simply stating them. Descriptive writing brings people, places, and actions to life for the reader in a visual way. Concise writing respects the reader's time by communicating the essential information clearly and directly.
This document discusses misplaced modifiers and provides examples. A misplaced modifier is a word or phrase that is improperly separated from the word it is intended to modify, potentially changing the meaning of the sentence. The document identifies different types of misplaced modifiers including adjectives, adverbs, phrases, and clauses. It provides examples of misplaced modifiers and the corrections that involve repositioning the modifier closer to the word it is meant to modify. The document concludes with an exercise asking the reader to identify and correct misplaced modifiers in sample sentences.
The document discusses modifiers and how to use them correctly to avoid unclear meanings. It defines modifiers as words, phrases, or clauses that provide description. It explains that misplaced or dangling modifiers can lead to illogical meanings if not placed close to the words they intend to describe. The document provides examples of different types of modifiers and guidelines for ensuring they are placed properly to accurately convey intended meanings in sentences.
This document provides information on using modifiers including:
- Defining good and well as modifiers and their proper uses
- Explaining the three types of modifiers: adjectives, adverbs, and phrases/clauses
- Detailing the three degrees of comparison for modifiers: positive, comparative, superlative
- Guiding when to use more/most and less/least versus -er/-est for irregular comparisons
Modifiers are words, phrases, or clauses that provide descriptive details about other parts of speech or sentence elements. The main types are adjectives and adverbs. Adjectives describe nouns and pronouns, answering questions like "what kind". Adverbs describe verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs, answering questions like "how". It is important to correctly identify a modifier as an adjective or adverb based on what word it is modifying.
The document discusses misplaced and dangling modifiers and provides examples and corrections. It explains that a misplaced modifier is separated from the word it intends to describe, while a dangling modifier starts a sentence without being followed by the word it describes. Examples are given of misplaced and dangling modifiers and how to identify and fix them by placing the modifier closer to what it describes or adding context to clarify the intended meaning. Strategies for avoiding ambiguous meanings caused by modifiers include paying attention to placement of words like adverbs, prepositions, and verbals.
The document discusses key principles of objective and accurate journalistic writing. It emphasizes verifying facts, avoiding personal opinions, citing sources for opinions, and representing all perspectives in a balanced way. It also stresses that journalistic writing must be clear, concise, and use vivid language to engage readers while efficiently conveying essential information.
This document discusses misplaced and dangling modifiers. It defines modifiers, misplaced modifiers, and dangling modifiers. It provides examples of each type of error and explains how to fix them by revising the sentence structure to clearly identify what the modifier is intended to modify.
The document summarizes the new K-12 grading system implemented in the Philippines. It discusses that assessment is now integrated into daily classroom activities and includes both formative and summative evaluations. Grades are based on weighted scores from written work, performance tasks, and quarterly assessments. Students need a final grade of at least 75 in all subjects to promote to the next grade level, or they may need to take remedial classes. The goal is for assessment to enhance the teaching and learning process.
This document discusses three types of writing: informative writing which aims to present information objectively using reliable sources; journalistic writing which informs, entertains, and persuades through clear and concise language; and literary writing which creates an emotional appeal and shares experiences with readers. Examples of each type are provided, including an example news article about Pakistani brothers sentenced for cannibalism.
This document provides guidance on writing feature stories for campus journalism. It discusses different types of feature stories such as personality profiles, experiences, descriptions, and how-to guides. It also offers suggestions for introducing and ending feature stories, including using rhetorical questions, startling statements, or narratives. The document outlines qualities of a good feature writer and steps for writing a feature article, such as choosing a subject and developing the lead, body, and conclusion.
The document provides guidance for students on planning their magazine covers for an assessment. It discusses including elements like the masthead, cover lines, date and price. Students are advised to consider the genre, target audience through demographic, socio-economic and psychographic profiling, and codes and conventions of the genre. They should also plan the layout, fonts, graphic elements, main cover line, additional contents, number of sections and specific contents. The proposal will outline all these planning details for the student's individual magazine cover.

Report Structure
A reminder: on the title page, please type your name, student number, tutor’s name and the topic title.
Executive Summary
The executive summary needs to provide an overview of the whole report. The executive summary outlines the purpose, research methods, your findings based on your research, and main conclusions (200 words max – not part of the word count).
Introduction
In your introduction outline what you are going to do and the position you are adopting - please use your introduction as a map to cover the points you outline sequentially in the body of your report to stay on track. An introduction needs to include:
· the purpose of your report
· key terms that need to be defined
· context & background rationale (analysis of existing literature on the topic and how your project contributes to the field).
You also need to set limits on the research by identifying what you are going to cover and sticking to it (your road map).
The Study Method
Here you should outline how you went about collecting your data. You should explain and justify aspects such as:
· How many people you interviewed
· Their characteristics (e.g. age, occupational background, student, retiree, etc.)
· The average length of the interviews
· When the interviews were conducted
· How you went about your data analysis (e.g. thematic approach).
The Findings
In this section you will present your findings from the analysis of the interview data. You may choose to do this in terms of ‘themes’ found in your interviews, or a ‘narrative’ approach which tells the ‘stories’ of your research participants. You will want to present selective direct quotations that are illustrative of key themes which emerged from your data analysis. Remember, you do not need to present everything that your interviewees said. Be selective. When writing this section, think about:
· Does every reference to the data speak to the theme that I am discussing?
· Am I adequately telling a ‘story’ or simply summarising?
· Have I included a good combination of quotes and description?
· Have I focused on quality themes discussed in depth over a large number of themes that are briefly discussed?
Discussion
Together with the findings, this is the most important aspect of the report. In this section you need to discuss your findings in relation to the existing literature/research on your chosen topic. Your analysis and arguments must all be supported by your references - every comment you make that presents as a fact. Assertion or argument has to be substantiated with a good reference that is cited or quoted in the text. Marks are lost for unsubstantiated opinions. In fact, your opinion is not sought here. What we are interested in is your capacity to synthesise and communicate well-researched information and relate it to your own research findings. As you are writing your discussion, think about questions such as:
· What does the research tell us?
· How does our research findings relate to existin.

principles we have covered during this course and use them as a lens to view your nonprofit. By using
that lens, determine if your nonprofit is following/applying best practices for the nonprofit sector. If
they ARE applying best practices, identify the best practices they are applying and give specific
examples. If they ARE NOT applying best practices, identify specific examples of where the nonprofit is
NOT using best practices and identify the best practices that you would recommend that the nonprofit
use or implement.
You need to select at least three examples to identify and discuss. You can choose to discuss all
instances of your nonprofit not following best practices; or you could choose to discuss all instances of
your nonprofit following best practices or a combination using best practices and not using best
practices, if you discuss at least three examples. Below are several areas which you might consider
analyzing and discussing:
1. Mission, Vision & Strategy:
a. Does your organization have both a mission and vision statement? Are programs and
services in alignment with mission? Does the organization have a current strategic plan?
Does the organization have procedures in place for evaluating programs? Does the
organization report the impact of its programs to donors, on its website and/or in
annual reports? Does the organization regularly get input from program participants?
2. Leadership: Board, Staff & Volunteers:
a. Does the organization have current by-laws and policies? How does the organization
recruit and retain board members? Does the organization have board term limits? How
does the organization recruit and retain volunteers? Does the organization have written

job descriptions for board members, staff and volunteers? Does the organization have
orientation for board members, staff and volunteers? How many board members does
the board have? Is the executive director a member of the board of directors? How
often does the board meet? Does the board represent the diversity of the community
and/or the demographic which the organization serves? Do the staff and/or volunteers
represent the diversity of the community and/or the demographic which the
organization serves?

The document provides guidance on report writing. It discusses what a report is, why reports are written, differences between reports and essays, and sections of a typical report. A report is a structured document that presents information clearly and succinctly to help make decisions or account for actions. It uses headings and subheadings to break up content. Reports are used in business, science labs, and case studies. They are meant to be practical, evaluative, and analytical rather than theoretical like essays. Reports also help develop written communication skills and can model documents written in future jobs or academic journals.
Approaches for Teaching Content Strategy Or Lessons from @MoonPieLiza Potts
This document outlines an approach for teaching a content strategy course, including three example assignments. The course is aimed at professional writing and experience architecture majors, with goals of learning content management tools and methods, deploying research to assess organizational communication needs and recommend strategies, and situating content strategy within user-centered design. Three major assignments are described: a competitive analysis, a tone and style guide, and a content strategy document. Reflection assignments aim to help students improve and articulate their skills and value. The document provides details on assignment purposes, processes, and deliverables.
1) The document provides a step-by-step strategy for getting published in a peer-reviewed journal, beginning with identifying a novel topic and choosing the right journal, and including developing a writing plan, ensuring originality, conducting quality assurance reviews, and properly submitting the paper.
2) Key steps include identifying a topic you are passionate about, researching what has already been published on the topic, choosing the right journal based on its aims and scope, developing a writing plan with targets and regular writing sessions, getting feedback from others, and carefully following the journal's author guidelines when submitting.
3) Common mistakes include presenting too much background, overstating problems or solutions, including too many ideas in one paper, and
This document provides information about different types of learners and learning styles. It describes independent learners, team workers, effect participators, self-managers, reflective learners, and creative thinkers. For each learning style, it lists abilities and skills. The document then provides students with briefs and topics for an extended research project. Students are asked to choose a topic to research, consider presentation methods, and complete a lesson plan. The lesson plan template includes tasks, outcomes, presentation modes, and deadlines.
The document provides guidance for answering a skills evaluation question worth 25 marks on an A2 media exam. It will require evaluating the skills developed over the 2-year A2 media course across areas like digital technology, creativity, research and planning, post-production, and using conventions from real media texts. The document provides examples of questions that could be asked about each area and advises referring to specific examples from coursework to show how skills have improved over time.
Peer review is often seen as a cornerstone of modern science. We are going to discuss the current peer review practices in software engineering research, their strengths and limitations. Next we will discuss tips and tricks for writing code reviews, as well as implications for writing papers. I will also share some insights in my own reviewing practices.
This document provides guidance for writing successful grant proposals, particularly for the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) in the UK. It emphasizes understanding the funding context, choosing the right program, and clearly communicating the proposed research in a concise yet informative manner. The proposal should demonstrate significance, methodology, and feasibility within the assessment criteria. Practice-led research proposals require articulating research questions, context, and methods, and showing how creative works relate to cultural issues. Understanding multiple perspectives of funders, reviewers, and panels is key to writing a competitive proposal.
Module 1 - SLPManaging Individual BehaviorThe SLP for this c.docxclairbycraft
Module 1 - SLP
Managing Individual Behavior
The SLP for this course involves making a personal assessment of a relevant set of skills, focusing on your strengths and identifying any weaknesses that may have been revealed. You will then be asked to create a plan by which you can "grow" your strengths and shore up your weaknesses. By the end of the project, you will have a personal management profile and action plan.
As we have discussed, your values and attitudes interact with your personality to create a strong effect on your work life. The fit between an individual's personality and a company's "style" is essential to job satisfaction. Someone who is risk-averse, for example, would probably be unhappy at 3M, a company with a reputation for innovation and risk-taking. Understanding the impact of your own personality on others helps you build productive work relationships with peers, subordinates, and bosses, alike.
Refer to the required and optional readings for this module, and any other readings which will help you in understanding personality styles and how they affect organizational effectiveness. Remember to follow Trident’s guidelines for masters-level writing. (See
The Student Guide to Writing a High-Quality Academic Paper

The decisions made about designing for content are so important. Creating visual entry points, providing access to small bits of information instead of large overwhelming chunks, designing for content instead of forcing content into pre-designed templates are all concerns here. MJE candidates should have created some kind of process their staff use to determine design for content and should be prepared to share how that would work. CJE candidates should be prepared to design a basic yearbook/newspaper/web visual package with provided materials.
