II. ACQUISITION OF NEW KNOWLEDGE
A. Creative Writing is a form of artistic expression, draws on the imagination to convey meaning
through the use of imagery, narrative and drama. This genre includes poetry, fiction (novels,
short stories), scripts, screen plays, and creative non-fiction.
It can technically be considered any writing of original composition.
B. Different Types of Texts/Writing
The Five Basic Types of Writing
1. Technical writing conveys specific information about a technical subject to a specific
audience for a specific purpose.
2. Creative writing is fiction—poetry, short stories, plays, and novels--and is most different
from technical writing.
3. Expressive writing is a subjective response to a personal experience—journals and diaries—
whereas technical writing might be objective observations of a work-related experience or
research.
4. Expository writing is writing that seeks to explain, illuminate or 'expose' (which is where the
word 'expository' comes from). This type of writing can include essays, newspaper and
magazine articles, instruction manuals, textbooks, encyclopedia articles and other forms of
writing, so long as they seek to explain.
5. Persuasive writing depends on emotional appeal. Its goal is to change attitudes or
motivate to action. In this form of writing, the writer uses words to convince the reader that
the writer's opinion is correct in regards to an issue.
