The topics chosen for this writing assignment are word choice, persuasiveness, and technical depth. The proper and complete use of these topics will aid the writer in teaching the reader new subject matter. The use of poor word choice, lack of persuasiveness, and only a minimum of technical depth will prove to be detrimental to the learning process.

WORD CHOICE
Writing an article is proven to be a series of word choices. At times, writing can be very awkward for both the beginner and the professional. Choosing the correct spelling of a word is important to convey the correct message. Many words are pronounced the same but spelled differently. An example of this is the word site. The same pronunciation of this word is spelled cite, which has a different meaning than when it is spelled as site. The writer should also refrain from using words with unwanted connotations or meanings. Wordiness can be used to lengthen a writing making the task of understanding the writing more difficult or time-consuming.

LACK OF PERSUASIVENESS
The writer should use the correct tone to convey a message with the reader understanding the writer’s message. This could be done by using through explanations of various steps as necessary for the reader to understand the concept of the writing. The explanations can be in the forms of words, illustrations, or a combination of words and illustrations. For a writer to use persuasiveness, facts must be presented and all opinions are left out. When using facts, it is must easier for the reader to be in agreement with the writer. Opinions are usually very biased and judgmental for another person’s point of view. A well-written persuasive article is supported by the necessary facts to assist the writer in getting a point across to the reader.

TECHNICAL DEPTH
The degree of technical depth is dictated by the topic of the article. An article about Jack and Jill going up the hill would not need to include the sloop of the incline, the rate of ascent, the height above sea level to determine the gravitational pull, or other similar matters. On the other hand, if an article is about the storage of sensitive data, more depth that is technical is expected. The writer may assume that a reader will have a certain amount of technical knowledge, but not all readers are equal. A list of additional reading materials, a glossary, and a list of accepted acronyms should be provided to the reader as an addendum.
The use of proper word choice, persuasiveness, and technical depth are advantageous to the writer when used properly. When developing the outline for an article, the writer will construct a plan to convey the message so that all readers will understand the intention of the article.
