Writing or Creating Language Writing to Describe A grammatical sentence needs a verb and a thing doing the verb (subject). Every idea that you write needs an active verb – this forms a clause. Every clause must be connected with a connective/conjunctive. Identify these connectives to see if your clauses are connected. Example Connective Words A Fat Hungry Ogre Must Stop Eating innocent People. Adjctives/Alliiteration Five senses Hyperbole Onomatopoeia Metaphor Simile/Superlative Emotive Language Idiom Personification because, and, so Writing to Persuade A Slow Fat Tortoise Overtakes Every Racing Hare In Style! Adjectives/Alliteration Statistics/Superlatives Facts Tripartite List Opinions/Oxymoron Emotive Language Rhetoric/Repetition Hyperbole Imagery Second Guessing after, before, while, since, as, until, when, if, after Writing Techniques Short sentence for emphasis Paragraph length Advanced punctuation Starting with different word types (verb, adjective, connective) Verbs for connotation although, despite, but Formality adjusted for effect Starting sentences 1) Nouns or determiners (most common, neutral emphasis) The man walked down the street 2) Verb -ing or –ed (emphasising action) Fleeing from the man, he tripped. Worried about tripping, he bumped into his wife. 3) Adjective (emphasising description) Unwashed pavements stretched ahead on the street. 4) Adverb -ly word (emphasising action) Joyfully skipping up the street. 5) Connective or signpost (emphasising relationships) As he walked, he whistled. Example Phrase Words that, which, with, from, who, of, for, the -ing words, e.g. running across the road -ed words, e.g. covered in snow -ly words, e..g cautiously inching forward Paragraph Length and organisation Short Paragraph 1-3 sentences (used to emphasise an idea) Common Paragraph 3-5 sentences (balance between pace and description) Long Paragraph 5-8+ sentences (used to develop description or narrative) The less sentences in a paragraph, the more emphasis is given to each individual sentence. Advanced Punctuation ; semi-colon connects two ideas of equal importance Connections between paragraphs Use of connectives : colon connects two ideas, the second one is more important Use of signposts () brackets attaches detail to an idea in a sentence – emphasises connotation Use of phrase words ! exclamation mark emphasises the connotations of a word over other words Embedded subordinate clause ? Question mark requires the reader to interact (agree or disagree) with your idea - hyphen Attaches an idea to end of a sentence Use of language techniques specialised to writing type © 2014 TQG
