Attachments:
Generating ideas from SPAF
S = Subject
Sources of information
Two non-fiction texts from section A
Use these to gather facts, figures, expert opinions and specific examples
Can also use for examples of techniques and material to use as the content for your writing
Your own knowledge of the subject
Remember to draw on what you know about the subject and don't underestimate your own knowledge!
P = Purpose
There are 5 purposes in transactional writing
Argue, persuade, advise, inform, explain
Each purpose has its own set of conventions
When you know the purpose(s) of the task you will know what language and structural conventions to use
Make sure you have a good understanding of the conventions of each of the 5 purposes
Effective transactional writing will use the correct conventions for the purpose(s) of the task set
A = Audience
The person or people you expect to read or listen to your text
Audiences are specific types or groups of people
You must consider who they are, why they are accessing your text and how they will be accessing your text.
You must make choices of vocabulary, structure & content that are appropriate for the specific audience you have been asked to write for.
F = Form
This is the type of text you are asked to create
The forms you might be asked to create are all non-fiction. You will NEVER be asked to write a story or poem for the transactional writing tasks
Each form has its own conventions which you must use
You could be asked to write any of the forms of texts covered in the reading non-fiction unit
You must make sure you use the language and structural conventions for the form of text you have been asked to create
