Reading and Writing Module (1)

A discourse is a continuous stretch of spoken or written language, larger than a single sentence, conveying a message or idea. It has coherence (connectedness), cohesion (unity), and organization (structured ideas). Its purpose can be to inform, persuade, or entertain.
Two main types of discourse:
- Argumentation: Aims to persuade the listener of the speaker's accuracy.
- Narration: Creates a story or narrative, often emotionally driven, to support the story's impact.
Information organization (knowledge organization): A method to arrange and classify data, such as by listing, labeling, categorizing, or describing.
Organizing information for writing:
- Chronological order
- Order of importance
- Spatial order
- Comparison and contrast
Brainstorming: A tool to generate creative solutions or explore new ideas. It's a list of ideas written down during a session.
Brainstorming tips: Write down everything, even if it seems impractical or silly at first.
