Discursive writing help (1 Viewer)

[walkerwalker]

Hi guys, was wondering if you could help me understand the whole discursive writing. I have an assessment coming due soon and have no idea where to start

I have to write a discursive literary blog based on “life is to be lived and each experience savoured.”

I also have to make reference to Robert Gray’s poetry in the response.

Thankyou in advance

Basically, discursive writing is the exploration of an unbiased controversial topic. It is unbiased to allow the reader to engage and form their own judgments and perceptions.

 

[studiesofboard]

In relation to “life is to be lived and each experience savoured.” The reader may believe that life is not worth living or they may believe life is wonderful and they would make the most out of it. - two different perspectives - bias - showing and allowing the readers to form their own views on life.

what is ur word count limit? if it is ~500, do 2 paragraphs and into and concl - one paragraph for and one against. if it is <500, do 3, one for, on in the middle and one against.

start ur discursive with something engaging, maybe introduce a motif that will recur in your response, or maybe an anecdote. overall, just make your response engaging and thought provoking

The expectation of words is 800

Intro - 200 words
Body 1 - 200 words
Body 2 - 200 words
Conclusion - 200 words

The expectation of words is 800

in that case i would rec:

intro - 150 - 160
b1 - 220 - 270
b2 - 220 - 270
concl - 100

Yeah, Beetree1's word guide seems more realistic, I think 200 words to end it is too much!

Like ratios?
Intro to BP is 3:5
BP to Conclusion is 2:1
