Purpose For Informational Writing

Purpose For Informational Writing Print

• The purpose of informational writing is to help the reader understand a topic or concept.
• Although the writer may include opinions in an informational piece, the writer’s purpose is not to persuade the reader.
• A reader should be able to pick up a paper without knowing the assigned topic or the type of writing assigned and be able to understand the writer’s purpose.
• A reader should be able to tell if he/she is reading a report, an argument, a narrative or a response to literature.
