Planning Writing Flashcards

The intended reader or listener for your writing. Consider their needs, expectations, and level of understanding.

The reason for writing, such as to describe, narrate, argue, persuade, inform, or explain.

The type of text you are writing, e.g., a letter, article, speech, or story. Ensure your writing matches the required form.

The overall attitude conveyed through language choices, e.g., formal, informal, persuasive, or descriptive.

The level of formality appropriate to the audience and purpose of your writing.

The beginning of your writing, designed to engage the reader and introduce the topic or narrative effectively.

The conclusion of your writing, which should leave a lasting impression and tie together your ideas or narrative.

Organising ideas into logical units of meaning. Each paragraph should focus on one main idea or point.

How ideas are linked within and across paragraphs, using discourse markers and structural linking.

Methods such as brainstorming, mind mapping, or bullet points to organise ideas before writing.
