When you're writing a piece for English, remember to TAP:
When you're writing a piece for English, remember to TAP:
- Text
- Audience
- Purpose
Remembering to TAP will help you develop a plan.
Text refers to the type of text you are being asked to write: letter, magazine article, story, etc. They all have particular features and you need to remember these to do well. For instance, if you write a letter, it shouldn't read like a Harry Potter story. Also, your English homework shouldn't be written like a text message.
Audience is who you are writing for. This may be teenagers, adults or even children. It helps to put yourself in your audience's place - so for example, if you are writing a letter informing parents about a school trip, it is likely that parents will want to know about cost, safety and key facts such as times and places. Writing for adults doesn't necessarily mean you have to use long or complicated words - just ensure your writing is clear, sensible and interesting.
Purpose refers to the point of the text and what it is aiming to do. Persuasive texts often encourage readers to buy something, or back a particular cause (eg charity) so they need to use informative and emotive language. Whereas an entertainment text is likely to be more light-hearted.
You can use the TAP technique for all sorts of questions. The more you practise it, the better you'll get.
When preparing and planning your work, consider the text, audience and purpose. When you're checking it, look out for errors in spelling, punctuation and structure.
