Dear Joe Brown,
The piece of writing that I have submitted is a partly informative and partly argumentative magazine article. My article explores the possibility of public schools adopting a boarding school style model of education. I analyze the benefits of students attending boarding schools and where those benefits stem from. I also discuss evidence for and against my idea.
My writing process always begins as a brainstorming session. I let my brain wander, and write down anything and everything that comes to mind regarding my topic. This brainstorming session leaves me with subtopics of discussion, questions, evidence for, and arguments against my ideas. I often struggle at how to conclude my writing. I tend to feel as though I have said everything that I need to say, and don’t want to come across as demeaning to the reader by restating my main points. To overcome my issue of concluding, I reread my entire piece and determine what I want to leave the reader with. Then I try to summarize my topic and main arguments without completely restating my thesis. In addition, I want you to know that I care a great deal about what avenue I present my work in because I think that different venues of writing can be more effective for different topics, as well as different authors.
In my article I think I did well presenting my idea with clarity. I was very straightforward with what I think the public school system should do, and why. However I think that I could improve the tone of my writing. I struggle with finding how formal or informal of a tone to use. Additionally, I could refine my conclusion. As I said earlier, I generally struggle concluding which is something that your team of writers could assist me with. Lastly, the audience intended for my article is anyone in America, I believe that everyone has a say in how the education in America functions because everyone goes through the system themselves, has someone they know or love go through the system, or votes on how the system is run.
Thank you so much for your consideration, and I look forward to hearing back from you.
Sincerely,
Danni Noonan
