Writing Techniques: narration, description and dissertation

Writing Techniques vary according to the types of texts used, which can be essay, descriptive or narrative.

Whatever the type of text used, the content is developed throughout the text and is divided into the following parts:

1st Introduction - delimitation of the theme. Indicates the topic that the essay is about.
2nd Development - argumentation or thematic progression. Ideas are developed, while opinions are given as well as defended.
3rd Conclusion - outcome for the presented arguments.

This is also how our reasoning must be organized. The success of an essay depends a lot on how the text is structured.

Before starting to write everything that comes to mind, it is necessary to delimit the theme, making room for what is really important. This prevents the writing from becoming too long.

Dissertation

An essay text must be opinionated. It presents one or several arguments, which close with an idea.

In addition to structuring the text well, ensuring its thematic progression, coherence is one of the most important factors in this type of writing.

Narration

When using the narrative text, it is important to take into account that everything necessary for this story to be understood is present in the newsroom. This is because the narration tells a story or narrates a fact.

Ask the following questions. If all are answered in the essay, the plot is complete: What? At where? When? With whom? Like?

Description

Describing is telling something in detail. This is done by exposing details, qualities, impressions and sensations that the writer has of something.

Thematic progression is made with the presentation. The description and characterization follows, ending with a summary of what was presented.
