Scholars Bunn, Carillo, and Bundt seem to be having a conversation about how literacy leads to future success. I think this because I identified ideas including economic development, technological development, and "power" repeating/occuring as a pattern in these texts. I think they are talking about this because society is rapidly changing and good literacy skills are needed in order to communicate and succeed in the modern world (gives you a sense of power). I find this interesting because I never thought about this idea until I found the connections between all of these articles.

Scholars Yancey, Carllio and Knoblauch seem to be having a conversation about how literacy means power in today's society.
I think this is because I identified the amount of recognition literacy gets within today's society, how literacy allows people to educate the next generation as it depends on the people who have that power currently, and how the history of their cultural values of writing is repeating/occurring as a pattern in these texts.
I think they are talking about this because it starts from the historical context of writing like Yancey had in their article. From the historical context, we start to see how people learn to read and write and the stigma that goes behind individuals who aren't so good and reading and writing. Through their experiences we start to understand how each individual's perspectives differ.
I find this interesting because Yancey, Carillo, and Knoblauch discusses these topics in completely different ways, however they still collaborate on a main point together.

Scholars Carillo, Brandt, and Yancey seem to be having a conversation about literacy leading to our future success.
I think this because I identified gaining more opportunities, the usage of technology, and Literacy Sponsors repeating/occurring as a pattern in these texts.
I think they are talking about this because literacy is something we need to emphasize in society in order to help us succeed, as it helps us with communication, more opportunities, and a better understanding of writing.
I find this interesting because as they all correlate to each other, it helps me think about ways to improve my experience with literacy.

Scholars Yancey and Carillo and Knoblauch seem to be having a conversation about how literacy leads to our success in society..

I think this because I identified how having adequate literacy skills creates more opportunities for jobs because you have the knowledge to discuss and propose ideas in society, which is a repeating/occurring as a pattern in these texts.

I think they are talking about this because our society has become more competitive, in the aspect of educational background, and emphasizes the importance of having these skills because it provide access to power, knowledge, and opportunities.

I find this interesting because many of the texts we’ve read have discussed the insufficiency the teaching literacy skills in our education curriculum.

Scholars Shenk, Brandt, and Yancey seem to be having a conversation about the role of nurture in the development of literacy. I think this because I identified literacy sponsors and their influence on people and their environment as a repeating/occuring as a pattern in these texts. I think they are talking about this because there is a misconception that people are born good writers/readers when in reality they were either made good writers or need more help to become good writer. I find this interesting because it clears up many misconceptions and prejudice people have on certain people just because of the way they write or their reading ability.

Scholars Shenk, Knoblauch, Murray, and Parrott seem to be having a conversation about Nature vs. Nurture in writing and reading.
I think this because I identified the argument about genetics, environment, and society's beliefs that some people are born good writers repeating/occuring as a pattern in these texts.
I think they are talking about this because a lot of people think that they are bad writers just because society/their literacy sponsors say so or because they are born a bad writer, making them discouraged.
I find this interesting because I feel that a lot of people would benefit from this conversation and not make school grades the only foundation to determine what is good or bad writing.

Scholars Parrot, Yancey, and Shenk seem to be having a conversation about how technological advancement contributed to literacy development. I think this because I identified access to more sponsors, online collaboration, and A change in environment repeating/occurring as a pattern in these texts. Parrot mentions that some people are born into the right environment that gives people access to more literacy sponsors. And Yancey mentions how that environment has significantly changed from the 20th century to the 21st century. Yancey mentions that technological advancement has expanded literacy and access to literacy sponsors. In Shenk's text, he mentions that the environment in which we live heavily influences how much we develop our literacy skills. I think they are talking about this because technology is rapidly progressing in society which has definitely impacted the way writing is perceived and practiced. I find this interesting because I never thought about the impact that technology has on writing, we live in a world in which technology is constantly evolving and progressing. However, we never stop to consider the ways in which it impacts our literacy and the development of literacy. By focusing on the effects of technology and how it has impacted our environment, we will be able to understand the effects it has on our literacy development.

Scholars Edward and Paz, Parrott, and Knoblauch seem to be having a conversation about the social expectations of having good writing skills.
I think this because I identified the history of cultural values of writing, the societal expectations of students being naturally talented writers, and the stigma of illiterate individuals repeating/occurring as a pattern in these texts.
I think they are talking about this because the notion that people are just born natural writers and that literacy skills can't be developed is a harmful idea.
I find this interesting because it's something that all of society has to realize and unlearn, including teachers and students.

# data[].attributes.body
Scholars Edward & Paz, Knoblauch, and Shenk seem to be having a conversation about how writing is determined by nature or nurture. I think this because I identified no one is born a writer, literacy sponsors can encourage or suppress literacy, how writing can be improved by things like reading repeating/occurring as a pattern in these texts. I think they are talking about this because writing is something learned that needs time to develop. I find this interesting because our family resembles our nature and the environment we live in is nurture yet the two have to coincide to exist, so one without the other is impossible.

Scholars Warner, Strong, and Murray seem to be having a conversation about High school not preparing student for college writing.
I think this because I identified relearn, writer receive, and  traditional literacy repeating/occuring as a pattern in these texts.
I think they are talking about this because_they recognized how the literacy learn in highschool english course is not the best to prepare a student to college. it mean that student will be struggling in college because they need to relearn alot of thing, does not understand the idea that is given out by the teacher, and unable to utilized the knowledge about traditional literacy to the new form of literacy(such as social media, technical formate) and other source of influence.
I find this interesting because it what happen to me, I am not used to this fast pace reading and idea to bring out your personal opinion instead of having an reference article to help you, guide you and provide useful analysis section for you.

Scholars Warner, Murray, and Strong seem to be having a conversation about literacy in high school and how students are unprepared when starting college writing.
I think this because I identified ideas including the writing steps students are taught in high school, writing is prioritize over reading, and the difference between the freedom students are given in college compared to high school repeating/occuring as a pattern in these texts.
I think they are talking about this because many college students point out how they struggle with writing in college and how the preparation they had in high school, is unnecessary and unhelpful with their literacy in college.
I find this interesting because as a college student myself, I understand why I tend to struggle a bit more when it comes down to reading or writing when back in high school, it was an easy task for me to do.

Scholars Yancey, Edwards and Paz, and Parrot seem to be having a conversation that writing is a socially oriented experience where writers draw upon each other's ideas and opinions to form a text or work.  They believe that ideas and thoughts from multiple minds are incorporated in the final iteration of an author’s work. They also believe that while it is ultimately the writer’s job to improve their writing through practice, educators can play a role in facilitating the writing process by emphasizing its social aspect. I think this because I identified collaboration, networking, and adaptation occurring as a pattern in these texts. I think they are talking about this because it is easy to think that good writing comes from isolated geniuses which in turn damages many people's perception of writing. This leads to the numerous negative attitudes that student writers have towards their writing which limits their abilities and motivation to improve.  The authors focus their claims towards educators. I find this interesting because I also had a similar view before reading these texts and "social" is not something that came to mind when I thought about writing. Additionally, I find the authors' claims to be interesting because all writers go through the same difficult process of gaining inspiration on what and how to write their respective work.

Scholars Yancey, Edward & Paz, and Parrott seem to be having a conversation about how technological advancements contribute to literacy development. I think this is because I identified how the ideas of future generations is dependent on literacy, usage of technology as a resource to social engagement, and open access to more literacy sources occurring as a pattern in these texts. I think they are talking about this because technology continues to advance and as it does, new forms of medias will allow writers or students to develop new techniques to innovate their writing and participate in meaningful conversations on platforms. I find this interesting because I didn't get a lot of opportunities to engage with a lot of my peers or close friends from before, and now that there are several forms of medias, I feel like I have the opportunity to engage in topics or conversations that matters to me and gain new perspectives on it from others.

Scholars  Brandt, Shenk, and Yancey seem to be having a conversation about the impact of literacy sponsors towards the success of a student's learning journey. I think this because I identified the relationship between literacy and social economic groups that keep occuring as a pattern in these texts. I think they are talking about this because they want us to think about our reason to read. Why do schools, media or the public only expose a certain type of literacy to us? Also our cost of gaining literacy, how is it different from people in other social groups. I find this interesting because this is related to my life. I am taking this class and learning about American literacy.

Scholars Bunn, Carrillo, and Yancey seem to be having a conversation about how the education system puts most of its focus on writing instead of focusing on both reading and writing.

I think this because I identified the importance of reading and the strategies of RLW and how it helps improve students' writing repeating/occurring as a pattern in these texts.

I think they are talking about this because Carrillo's purpose is to show educators and students that writing and reading are connected, and teachers need to teach both simultaneously. She explains how there is a connection between reading and writing, and students need both skills for their careers. While Bunn's method of RLW shows how using the correct reading techniques can improve our writing which connects back to Carrillo's ideas, where reading and writing are connected. Although Yancey's reading did not focus on reading and writing, she contributed to the conversation by giving background information as to why the points made by Carillo and Bunn were important. She stated that throughout history, educators have mostly focused on writing.

I find this interesting because we have been reading all the time in school, but teachers haven't really explained how reading and writing are connected and how we have been reading wrong.

Scholars Yancey, Edward/Paz, and Bunn seem to be having a conversation about the idea that writing is a social and collaborative process.
I think this because I identified key ideas revolving around the image of writing/societal perspectives and the result of a collaborative environment as an occurring pattern in these texts.
I think they are talking about this because they realized that society is flawed in the way it perceives writing. There is constant failure to understand that all ideas are based on prior knowledge and that everything is simply the result of further elaboration and application. I find this interesting because while each author's piece has a unique main purpose, collaboration and social aspects of writing are on all of their radars.

Scholars Bunn, Yancy, and Parrott seem to be having a conversation about the perception of writing students have learned during their education.
I think this because I identified the idea to reinvent the purpose of why someone is writing, how education can improve to better prepare students for writing in higher education which in turn prepares students for participation in society, and how comparison damages how students perceive writing repeating/occurring as a pattern in these texts.
I think they are talking about this because they recognize the importance of education as a driving fore to how students feel about writing.
I find this interesting because it is a relevant conversation that is relatable to myself and I think is something that should change.

Scholars Bunn, Yancey, and Edwards & Paz seem to be having a conversation about how reading plays a crucial role in the development of students' literacy skills. I think this because I identified the arguments that writing must be taught alongside reading in students' curriculums, that its important to analyze other writers' strategies/work in order to improve one's own writing, and that writers learn best through mimicking and imitating professional writers' works as a repeating pattern in these texts. I think they are talking about this because it is important to emphasize to both students and educators the best learning strategies for aspiring writers. I find this interesting because it is important for students to recognize the correlation between reading and writing and the benefits that come with practicing them synchronously.
