This document outlines 5 key elements of effective writing: 1) Clarity, so the writing does not confuse the reader; 2) Form, with a beginning, middle, and end that draws readers in and is satisfying; 3) Emotion, so the text evokes an emotional response from the reader; 4) Meaning and connection, so the writing connects to people or situations the reader can relate to; and 5) Language, where the author carefully chooses powerful words without cliches or unnecessary adjectives and adverbs.
Traditional academic writing (essays, reports, etc.) often overlook the creative writing techniques that native English speakers receive throughout their education. Thus, what is needed is a reexamination of the syllabus to find creative writing opportunities. In addition, ESL/EFL teachers must be given the ability and confidence to teach writing. My workshop aims to accomplish these necessities.

Descriptive essays paint a picture with words by describing a person, place, or memory in vivid detail.

Persuasive essays aim to convince the reader to accept the writer's viewpoint by building a case with facts, logic, examples, and sound reasoning.
The document discusses the key differences between narrative and descriptive writing. It notes that narrative writing tells a story about events using techniques like chronological order, dialogue, and flashbacks, while descriptive writing creates a vivid picture without time elements using sensory details and figurative language. Both use an introduction with a thesis and conclusion, but narrative writing employs a first person point of view while descriptive writing uses third person. Paragraph structure and conclusions also differ between the two forms.
Feature writing aims to humanize news stories by adding color, context and first-hand experiences rather than just reporting the facts. There are several types of feature stories, including personality profiles that paint a vivid picture of a person, human interest stories that show the emotional or entertainment value of a subject, and trend stories that examine the impact of people or ideas on society. Effective feature writing uses narrative, chronological or first-person styles rather than an inverted pyramid structure.

1. Narrative Essays
As a mode of expository writing,the narrativeapproach,more than any other, offers writers a chanceto think and
write about themselves. We all haveexperiences lodged in our memories, which are worthy of sharingwith readers.
When you write a narrativeessay,you aretellinga story. Narrativeessays aretold from a defined point of view, often
the author's,so there is feelingas well as specific and often sensory details provided to get the reader involved in the
elements and sequence of the story. The verbs are vivid and precise.The narrativeessay makes a point and that point
is often defined in the opening sentence, but can also be found as the lastsentence in the opening paragraph.
Sincea narrativerelies on personal experiences,itoften is in the form of a story. When the writer uses this technique,
he or she must be sure to includeall theconventions of storytelling:plot,character,setting, climax,and ending. It is
usually filled with details thatare carefully selected to explain,support,or embellish the story. All of the details relate
to the main pointthe writer is attempting to make.
Once an incidentis chosen,the writer should keep three principles in mind.
1. Remember to involve readers in the story. It is much more interesting to actually recreatean
incidentfor readers than to simply tell about it.
2. Find a generalization, which the story supports. This is the only way the writer's personal
experience will takeon meaning for readers.This generalization does not have to encompass
humanity as a whole; itcan concern the writer, men, women, or children of various ages and
backgrounds.
3. Remember that although the main component of a narrative is the story, details must be
carefully selected to support, explain, and enhance the story.
Conventions of Narrative Essays
In writingyour narrativeessay,keep the followingconventions in mind.
1. Narratives aregenerally written in the first person, that is,using I.However, third person (he, she, or it) can
also beused.
2. Narratives rely on concrete, sensory details to convey their point. These details should createa unified,
forceful effect, a dominant impression.
3. Narratives,as stories,should includethesestory conventions: a plot, includingsettingand characters;a
climax;and an ending.
The focus of a narrative essay is the plot, which is told usingenough details to build to a climax. Here's how:
It is usually told chronologically.
It usually has a purpose, which is usually stated in the opening sentence.
