Purposes for writing

from Teaching Writing: Ideas and Strategies Hosted by Roger Graves

This episode examines purposes for documents, and, in fact, other communication situations. What is the purpose of a document? Referential, expressive, and persuasive are three of the main purposes that documents serve. When we communicate with students, we need to be clear about the purpose their documents serve.
