Study Notes
Writing for the Social Services
- Writing is a key skill for social service work, not just a peripheral requirement
- Needed to ethically, sensitively, and correctly serve clients
Ethical Considerations for Social Services Writing
- Client-focused writing
- Careful handling of confidential information
- Different genres of social services writing:
- Marketing materials
- Organizational manuals
- Academic portfolios (lectures, journals, articles, conferences)
- Social work records and case notes
- Values and principles:
- Social justice
- Respect for persons
- Professional integrity
- Accountability and transparency
- Accuracy, judiciousness, and credibility
- Reflexivity
- Authenticity
- Sensitivity
- Purpose
Unforeseen Consequences of Poor Writing in a Social Work Context
- A social worker's case notes described a "touching event" that was later labeled as "sexualized behavior"
- This led to further consequences, such as the boy being forbidden to be left alone with his sister without any further comments
- Misinterpreting or misrepresenting information in case notes could have serious unforeseen negative implications
Email Etiquette
- "Rich" vs "lean" communication
- Four "C's" of email communication:
- Clear
- Concise
- Correct
- Conversational
- Physical presence is the richest communication channel, and email is the leanest.
Strategies for Academic Writing in the Social Services
- Writing and thinking go hand-in-hand
- Benefits of "free writing"
- Literature review (skimming scientific articles)
- Critiquing articles
- Reading with a pen
- Narrow and focused research question
Basic Persuasive Essay Structure
- Introduction (general statements, thesis statement)
- Body (topic sentence, supporting details)
- Conclusion (summary or restatement)
Grammar Tune-Up
- Clause: Basic sentence (subject/verb combination)
- Phrase: Group of words without a subject/verb combination
- Parts of speech: Word types combined to create sentences
What is a Noun?
- A person, place, or thing
Some Different Noun Types
- Collective noun
- Compound noun
- Concrete noun
- Abstract noun
- Proper noun
- Common noun
Pronouns
- Pronouns replace nouns stated in a sentence
- Pronouns: case and reference
- Subjective case (I, she, he, we, they)
- Objective case (me, her, him, us, them)
- Possessive case (my, her, his, our, their)
- Common pronoun types
- Personal
- Relative
- Demonstrative
- Indefinite
- Interrogative
- Reflexive
- Common pronoun errors
- Who/whom
- Than/as
- Pronoun reference errors
- Pronouns must clearly relate to antecedents
Verbs
- A verb expresses an action, occurrence, or state of being
- Verb types
- Past participle
- Example: half-eaten
- Present participle
- Example: thinking
- Perfect participle
- Example: having finished, having read
- Gerund verb
- Example: singing is fun
- Past participle
- Action verbs vs. linking verbs
- Action verbs express actions (e.g., walk, run, eat)
- Linking verbs express a state of being (e.g., is, are, seem)
- Active and passive voice
- Active: subject performs the action (e.g., she walks her dog)
- Passive: subject is acted upon (e.g., songs were sung)
Adjectives and Adverbs
- Modifiers (affect the meaning of other words)
- Adjectives modify nouns and pronouns
- Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and adverbs
Prepositions
- Do not modify words but show relationships between phrases (e.g., on the chair, over the table)
Conjunctions
- Three types: coordinating, subordinating, correlating
- Common conjunction errors (e.g., overuse, one conjunction for two clauses)
Interjections
- Express strong emotion, followed by an exclamation mark (or period)
