There are five key concepts of this course. First is that
everyday writing is a type of writing that occurs in our lives on a daily
basis. It can range from something as formal as a government-issued document,
like a parking ticket, or as informal as a scribbled reminder note. Another is
that everyday writing can be more than something on a piece of paper. For
example, scrapbooking, graffiti and tattoos can be categorized as everyday
writing. Everyday writing can also be used for a variety of reasons. Whether it
is making lists to gather thoughts and organize one’s daily tasks, or sending a
postcard for communicative purposes they are all forms of writing that are a
part of our daily lives. Writing was used in time of war to keep in touch with
families and postcards were used as banter to maintain a relationship, like
texting is used today. Another example is keeping a notebook timeline of
occasions and experiences throughout ones lives. Lastly, everyday writing is a
very broad topic, but the purpose is simple: to serve the writer. From
organizing one’s thoughts, or to refresh one’s thoughts, or to record one’s
memories in a scrapbook, even to communicate with another person. By writing
the piece, the piece is giving something back to a person in a form of written
word that can be translated into many meanings.
