There are four main styles types of writing:
*Expository - is one of the most common types of writing.
When an author writes in an expository style, all they are
trying to do is explain a concept, imparting information from
themselves to a wider audience. Expository writing does not
include the author’s opinions, but focuses on accepted facts
about a topic, including statistics or other evidence.
*Descriptive - When an author writes in a descriptive style,
they are merely describe things as they are.The author might
employ metaphor or other literary devices in order to
describe the author’s impressions via their five senses (what
they hear, see, smell, taste, or touch).

*Persuasive - is the main style of writing you will use in academic
papers. When an author writes in a persuasive style, they are trying
to convince the audience of a position or belief. Persuasive writing
contains the author’s opinions and biases, as well as justifications
and reasons given by the author as evidence of the correctness of
their position.
*Narrative - is used in almost every longer piece of writing,
whether fiction or nonfiction. When an author writes in a narrative
style, they are not just trying to impart information, they are trying
to construct and communicate a story, complete with characters,
conflict, and settings.

Characteristics of Persuasive Blog Posts:
*Logic Based — Far too often we allow our emotions to
color our style. Passion is great, especially in verbal
presentations, but in written communications, passion often
clouds, hides or simply (in the worse cases) replaces fact.
Strip your posts of emotional language. Be logical.
*Data Driven — Unfortunately we often fall back on
emotion because we don’t have the data to support our
point, It’s hard to argue without data, so find it and include
it in your posts.

*Prove Don’t Tell — When you’re trying to persuade
“the other side” to come around to your point of view,
build your case using logic, facts and proof. If the reader
follows down the logic trail, a reasonably intelligent, logical
person should arrive at your desired conclusion before you
even type it.
*Short Sells — Make your point, make it well and then
move on. Don’t feel the need to use every fact or
argument.

11. *Don’t Draw Lines in the Sand — There’s nothing if you
are using logic trails, but there is a wrong way to do it. And
when it’s done incorrectly, you force the reader to make a
black and white decision versus giving them an opportunity
to engage with your thinking.

12. 2. Expository Infographic - An infographic (information
graphic) is a visual representation of information that aims to
make the data easily understandable at a first glance. They
are designed to reach a wider audience by simplifying
complex subjects and arranging it in an easy to digest
format, unlike other types of visualizations

13. Application
Directions: Using the rays of the sun, give what is being
asked “Based on our lecture, what does an effective
persuasive blog post must contain?”. Write your answer on
a one whole sheet of paper.
