This is a 27 slide PowerPoint that I created when I was involved in the Eastern Virginia Writing Project at William & Mary. It essentially discusses what is meant by "informal writing", why it is important to practice in the classroom, and goes on to give examples of types of informal writing. This PowerPoint could be used to explain informal writing to students, to use in a presentation to colleagues, or for one's own general knowledge. I am listing this FREE so feel free to use and modify
