I think the writing I have done for the PLP demonstrates understanding of the course key terms. Almost all writings must consider the audience, the genre, purpose, knowledge etc. I don’t think any of us could have been successful at writing without understanding those key terms at a base level even if we couldn’t define them or put them into words. Most of the terms are something understood at an intrinsic level. With that being said I can use the understanding and knowledge of those terms to perhaps give more depth to my writing and give it a cleaner feel, more defined. I feel I have always embraced the needs of understanding the key terms without realizing I was doing so but now that I have a base line for why I write the way I write I can make sure I am even more defined in my writing.
Some ways in which I have demonstrated the relationship of my PLP to the key terms is in my meeting notes, I write the notes based on my audience (IT vs Business Partners vs Leadership). If I’m giving details of a system issue I’ll adjust how I explain the issue based on the genre of whom I’m addressing. If I’m addressing phone agents I’ll keep it simple but easy to follow. If I’m addressing IT I’ll only include technical details so they don’t get caught in the weeds. Everything I write has a purpose whether to educate, inform or inquire, nothing is done without a purpose behind it.
