1. What kinds of writing do you do in your field/job? 2.Please tell me about the kind of writing you do on an average day. 3. For what purposes do you write? 4. For what audiences do you write? 5. What do you get out of the writing you do?

1. The majority of the writing I do as an education major involves writing lesson plans. To write these I use bullet points or short paragraphs to summarize my ideas. I also write a lot of special education assessment reports. These involve detailed, professional paragraphs in "parent-friendly" language.

2. On an average day I write emails, take notes in class and make "to-do" lists.

3. Most of the writing I do day to day is for class whether it be taking notes or working on assignments. I also write emails for communication purposes.

4. As a college student, most of my emails are for professional audiences (ie: professors or grad school representatives). When I am writing to friends or family, I use less formal language.

5. Most of the writing I do is to satisfy a class requirement. Sometimes it's also easier for me to write out my thoughts or ideas to help organize them. I also maintain communication with professors and friends through emails and Facebook.
