Annotation of argument between college and students extract.

This extract was from a director of a college proclaiming what was right and wrong between the students when going to the college.

The extract consists of many graphological forms. For example Bold font to show an emphesis of the title and italics in represntation of the formality and spoken dialogue of the director who had written the letter. Furthermore, the author of the letter had also used underlining of words to show the importance of this letter.

In terms of layout, you can see that there are bullet points to show a stepped or sequence list. To show a clear order for the reader to understand but isnt set out in alphaberical order but instead the most important first so the reader gets a good understanding of thats most important.

Furthermore, the language choices such as noun phrases, verbs and pronouns, discourse structure and audience purpose will be what imapcts the reader most.
Firtsly the noun phrases such as 'appropriate teaching' and 'acquire sound learning skills' all stand out the most and make the audience understand easily what will happen when they come to college. Also the discourse structure of the letter, for example "I, the student..." shows that the letter is personal to you. Lastly the use of modal auxilleries shown in the extract show that the letter is very defiant and precise on what they want you to do. For example "will take account of your abilities"

Overall in this extract, it is clear to say that this letter is very informative which is also known in context, A declarative and provides the most information for the audience to understand what is neccessary.
