Portfolio preparation: Verb-based writing
Now review the three documents you selected at the start of the module, and compile your own examples of noun- and verb-based writing.
We encourage you to find as many examples as you can of this concept in your sample documents. If you find many examples of a particular weakness, pay special attention to it; it likely indicates a pattern in your own writing where you can improve. When you assemble your assignment portfolio, you will choose one or two of the examples to send to your tutor for feedback.
Do you find examples of noun-based writing? If so, document the original sentences, and then revise them with verb-based constructions. Record the original sentences and your revisions in the portfolio analysis document you started earlier.
Do you find examples of energetic, verb-based writing? If so, congratulations! Document these examples too.
