4 Types of Writing
Persuasive (Opinion) Writing
Persuasive (Opinion) Writing
The idea is to express an opinion or to take a stance about something, and then to support that opinion in a way that convinces the reader to see the subject the same way you do.
Persuasive writing contains an explanation of the opposite point of view and uses facts, statistics, or both to disprove that opposing view and support the writer's position. Some examples of persuasive writing include essays, debate position papers, editorial pieces such as letters to the editor, and book or concert reviews

Narrative Writing
Narrative Writing
Narrative writing tells a story. Though it’s most commonly used in personal essays ("What I Did to Celebrate the Holidays"), this type of writing can also be used for fictional stories, plays, or even a plot summary of a story your child has read or intends to write.4 This is likely the most frequently used of the four most common types of writing, and students will spend a significant amount of time learning how to write narratives.
Narrative writing is often, but not always, in the first person and is organized sequentially, with a beginning, middle, and end.

Descriptive Writing
Descriptive Writing
Descriptive writing is used to create a vivid picture of an idea, place, or person. It is much like painting with words. It focuses on one subject and uses specific detail to picture it.5
For example, if your child is asked to write about his favorite ride at an amusement park, he might note the name of a roller coaster and what it looks like, as well how the rush of wind in his hair felt as he zipped through the air, what the sound of the ride car clicking up the tracks was like, and so on. In upper grades, a student's descriptive writing should be more subtle and nuanced, using figurative and metaphorical language (It was the cherry on top of a wonderful day.)
The primary purpose of descriptive writing is to describe a person, place or thing in such a way that a picture is formed in the reader's mind. Capturing an event through descriptive writing involves paying close attention to the details by using all of your five senses.
Expository Writing
Expository Writing
Expository writing is to-the-point and factual. This category of writing includes definitions, instructions, directions, and other basic comparisons and clarifications. Expository writing is devoid of descriptive detail and opinion.6
This is a crucial skill. Students will need expository writing not only in school, but also in many potential careers that aren't primarily writing-oriented such as teaching, video production, and design. Students must be able to organize their thoughts, follow a plan, and in higher grades, conduct research to support their theses. Good expository writing requires thinking on multiple levels
People always write for a reason and when it comes to doing an expository or an informative essay, the same applies. ... While an expository article is all about explaining and even giving descriptions, informative articles stick to informing with no room for giving opinions.

literary work in which special intensity is given to the expression of feelings and ideas by the use of distinctive style and rhythm; poems collectively or as a genre of literature.
A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes an object or action in a way that isn’t literally true, but helps explain an idea or make a comparison.
Here are the basics:
A metaphor states that one thing is another thing
It equates those two things not because they actually are the same, but for the sake of comparison or symbolism
If you take a metaphor literally, it will probably sound very strange (are there actually any sheep, black or otherwise, in your family?)
Metaphors are used in poetry, literature, and anytime someone wants to add some color to their language
What are examples of similes?
A simile is a literary device that compares two things in an interesting and vivid way. Words such as “like” and “as” are used to compare the two subjects. For example, “He was as quiet as a mouse” or “She smelled like a rose”.
An analogy is to compare an idea, concept, or object to something very different from the original. The purpose of the analogy is to explain better while expanding the idea or concept by comparing it to something else which may sound familiar to the reader.
