Name and define the purposes of writing
When someone communicates ideas in writing, they usually do so to express themselves, inform their reader, to persuade a reader or to create a literary work. These are to inform, to explain, to narrate, and to persuade. There are other purposes for writing as well, but these four are emphasized to best prepare students for college and career readiness. A ‘Written Communication’ means the sending of messages, orders or instructions in writing through letters, circulars, manuals, reports, telegrams, office memos, bulletins, etc. It is a formal method of communication and is less flexible. A written document preserved properly becomes a permanent record for future reference.
When communication is written, it makes one's ideas and feelings more concrete; it makes us think more, and forces us to document those ideas and feelings in that exact time the words were being written. The written word has the ability to empower or destroy .
