Week two study case in school writing vs. out of school writing
When I write in school I use a formal type of writing. I use that type of writing because that is what professors would want me to use. I also use that type or writing because not everyone can read my work if I wrote how I do when I not in school. When I am not at school I usually write in what my professors would call slang. I write slag when I am not in school because it’s quicker and take less time. Also I don’t really feel like writing paragraphs to my friends. Another reason why I write in slang is because I can only text 160 letters in one text on my phone which sucks but hey I have to deal with it lol. Some of my slang words would consists of words like lol which means laughing out loud and nm which mean never mind. Some of my other slang words are plz which means please and so on there’s too many to name. If I could write in slang at school I probably would. Just because it’s easier and quicker and enjoyable to do. I also like to write in slang because it gives me a chance to be creative for a change. Sometime formal writing can be so boring and be so tiring. Sometimes I get missed up at where I am at and I sometimes time writes slang in my essays for school. I guess I just get caught up in the moment. It is really hard for me sometime to not want to write slang in my school work just because it’s a faster way and I can be do with my work and relax. But this year I am going to try my best not to put that slang in my school work. Hopefully I won’t do it!

ReplyDeleteHey Raquel i completely understand what your talking about. we had the same teachers at woodruff for writing and some of the work that we had to write was hard. when you write in slang its alot easier for us but not the teachers
ReplyDeleteWhat an excellent topic, Raquel! We're going to spend a lot of time writing and thinking about how different audiences and situations require us to be different writers.
