In writing we are looking at writing Expositions. We are making sure that our writing is formal when writing expositions and are talking about formal writing. Today we discussed the difference between 1st, 2nd and 3rd person, knowing that most formal writing is in 3rd person.
1st person is when the writer is speaking about themselves and use the words “I”, “my”, “we”, “us”.
2nd person is you talking to someone else…using the words for an example like “you”.
3rd person is you talking about someone else…using the words like “she/he”, “they”, “her”.
We know that in 2nd person we use words like “you” to talk to other people, and your challenge it to let me know what type of writing uses this word and write an example. First correct answer recieves 1000 house points.
2nd person writing is when you instruct or address a person.
Eg; “When you fall off your bike and get hurt, you go and put a bandaid on it.”
or
“Migrains and headaches can get really annoying. To cure the headaches you need to get a pain relief tablet and a glass of water. When you swallow the tablet, you do not chew it, you swallow it whole with water to make the tablet go down easier.”
These are 2 examples of what 2nd person writing is.
