Assignment:
My topic is the importance of mental health days at work. Mental health days are essential to me because I personally struggle with anxiety and depression and understand the need to take a break from work and focus on my mental wellbeing. I also want to encourage others to prioritize their mental health and creat e a more supportive and understanding workplace environment. My audience is likely people in the workplace, such as employers, co-workers, and those in positions of power and decision making. After reading my writing, I want them to recognize the significance of mental health days and understand that mental health is just as important as physical health. I also want employers to be more understanding and supportive of those who take mental health days.
As the author, I can control the structure, word choice, and grammar of my piece of writing, which can help creat e an engaging and effective piece that conveys my message clearly. Choices like word choice and grammar can also influence readers' experiences, as they can make it easier or more difficult for them to understand and appreciate the message of the writing. By writing about mental health days at work, I hope to creat e a greater awareness and understanding of the importance of taking care of our mental health.
