This document discusses different writing techniques that can be used when composing a story. It identifies descriptive, first-person, narrative, persuasive, and subjective techniques. For each technique, it provides a brief definition and example of how that technique presents information and incorporates viewpoint. The goal is to help writers choose the most appropriate technique based on their topic and intended audience.

Prepared by:
TUMANA, WJ

2. Types of Writing Techniques
 You must choose your writing
technique carefully before you
begin writing the story.
Consider the topic of the story
and the audience that will
read it. Sometimes it is
appropriate to use the word
"I" in your story or reveal your
own opinions on a topic, while
other times it is not. Using the
appropriate writing technique
can make the difference
between your story being a hit
or total flop.

3. Descriptive
 Descriptive writing occurs
when the writer uses very
detailed information to
explain the story. This can
involve detailed descriptions
of the characters, the setting
and even objects. This style
of writing is used to immerse
the readers in the story,
allowing them to create a
vivid mental picture of the
setting in their minds. For
example, a line from a
descriptive story might read,
"He was 6'4, with deep blue
eyes, chestnut brown hair
and a bright white smile."

4. First-Person
 When using a first-
person writing
technique, the writer is
able to incorporate his
own ideas into the story.
Instead of just
presenting the facts, the
writer can let his own
opinions come out in
the writing. For
example, a story written
in a first-person
technique would have
the word "I" worked in
throughout the text.

5. Narrative  A narrative writing style tells a
story. The writer introduces
different characters and a setting
to the readers, while keeping his
or her own voice silent.
Narrative stories present a
problem that is played out and
eventually solved. One of the
most common examples of a
narrative is a movie script, but
narratives are also frequently
used in short stories as well.

6. Persuasive
 In a persuasive writing style,
the author tries to change
the reader's mind on a
certain topic or issue.
Writers present facts
supporting their opinions
and try to convince the
reader to join in their beliefs.
An example of this is often
seen in newspaper and
magazine columns, or in
political speeches.

7. Subjective  A story written in a
subjective writing technique
displays facts from both
sides of an issue or subject.
The writer is able to use
first-person terms such as
the word "I", but does not
choose one side to support.
Writers simply list the pros
and cons of the subject so
the readers can develop
their own informed opinions.
Newspaper articles are
often written in a subjective
style.
