Modes of Writing
Writing can take many different forms or modes.  When teachers
make a writing assignment, they usually give the form that the writing
should take. Each form or mode of writing has a specific purpose.

They should also specify an audience for the writing. If the teacher
does not specify an audience, write for the teacher.   When
completing a writing assignment students must always keep the
purpose and the audience they are writing for in mind.  

The main modes of writing are:

Creative Writing

Descriptive Writing

Narrative Writing

Expository Writing

Persuasive Writing
